| ALNMOUTH 4247 6105.
Borough 1147 (BF, p. 142). 1336 Subsidy £3.75. Perhaps an important
centre known as ‘Twyford’ in the late seventh century. On 2
Jan 1208, K John granted Eustace de Vescy the right to have a port
(RCh, 174; PR, 10 John, p. 154; E. Bateson, A
History of Northumberland (London, 1895), ii, pp.
467–8). |
| M | (Charter) gr 1152x1157, probably in
1152xc.1155, forum, by William, earl of
Northumberland to William de Vesci. William de Vesci was to have
his market apud Sanctum Walericium qui vocatur
Neubiginge. Day of the market is not given. The charter may
imply that the market existed prior to the grant (G. Barrow ed.,
Regesta Regum Scottorum (Edinburgh, 1971), ii, no.
3, pp. 124–5). For the identification of
‘Neubiginge’ as Alnmouth, see E. Bateson, A History
of Northumberland (London, 1895), ii, pp.
468–70. |
| M | (Charter) Wed; mercatum, gr 2 Jan 1208,
by K John to Eustace de Vescy (RCh, p. 174; PR, 10
John, p. 154). This charter appears to be a confirmation rather
than a grant. |

William de Vescy. To be held at the manor. Date missing from the
roll (CChR, 1226–57, p. 434). Tues market held by

(QW, p. 587) . |

May 1253, by K Hen III to William de Vescy. To be held at the
manor. Date not given on the roll (CChR, 1226–57, p.

William de Vesci, son of the grantee, was recorded in 1293
(QW, p. 587). |

Borough 1169x70 (BF, p. 143). Mint 1135–54. 1336 Subsidy £50.
Royal stronghold from seventh century to 954 and subsequently seat of
the earls of Northumberland. |
| M
| (Prescriptive: borough, mint) recorded 1279, held by
burgesses of Bamburgh who were fined for introducing new customs
(taking customs from those who sold corn) at their market (E.
Bateson, A History of Northumberland (London, 1893), i,
p. 120). On 16 Mar 1332, K Edw III granted the burgesses a Wed
market in lieu of the Sun market which had been held from time
immemorial (CChR, 1327–41, p. 267) . |
| F | (Prescriptive) f, Oswald (5 Aug); recorded 16
Mar 1332, held by burgesses of Bamburgh. Said to have been held
from time immemorial. K Edw III extended the fair for three days
after the feast. It is assumed that the feast of the fair
relates to Oswald, king of Northumbria, whose feast was also
celebrated on 8 or 9 Aug (CChR, 1327–41, p.
267). |
| F | (Prescriptive) f, Aidan (31 Aug); recorded 16
Mar 1332, held by burgesses of Bamburgh. Said to have been held

| M | (Charter) Mon and Fri; gr 4 Aug 1302, by K Edw I
to burgesses of Berwick upon Tweed (CChR, 1300–26,
p. 29). |
| F | (Charter) Easter to Michaelmas (Easter dep); gr
4 Aug 1302, by K Edw I to burgesses of Berwick upon Tweed. The
1302 charter states that the burgesses were to have a fair from
the Invention of the Cross (3 May) to the Nativity of John the
Baptist (24 Jun). However, a note by the charter states that the
fair was initially granted from Easter to Michaelmas and that
afterwards ‘by a petition in Parliament ... in the thirty-
fifth year [presumably 1306–7] ... [the fair] was
restored’ to last from the Invention of the Cross to the
Nativity of John (CChR, 1300–26, p.
29). |

1336 Subsidy £22.50. |
| M | (Charter) Wed; gr May 1253, by K Hen III to
William de Vescy. To be held at the manor. Date of the grant is
missing from the roll (CChR, 1226–57, p. 434). Wed
market held by William de Vesci, son of the grantee, recorded in
1293 (QW, p. 587). |
| F | (Charter) vfm+5, Exaltation of Holy Cross (14
Sept); gr May 1253, by K Hen III to William de Vescy. To be held
at the manor. Date of the grant is missing from the roll
(CChR, 1226–57, p. 434). Fair held by William de
Vesci, son of the grantee, recorded in 1293. However, this was
said to be vfm+5 Decollation of John the Baptist (29 Aug). As
William de Vesci claimed the fair by the charter of K Hen III,
it is likely that the feast of the fair recorded in 1293 was a
scribal error (QW, p. 587). |

Borough 1201 (BF, p. 143). Mint 1135–54 (feudal coinage not
issued in K Steph’s name). 1336 Subsidy £90. K John granted the

| HEXHAM 3937 5639.
Hexham was the seat of a bishopric between 678 and c.821 and
was later an important religious centre. Formal evidence of borough
status is lacking until 1547. Hexham was probably a significant
commercial centre from the twelfth century onwards. As it is not
clear how long Hexham had enjoyed borough status, it is not recorded
as a medieval borough in this Gazetteer (BF, p. 144). Market town
c.1600 (Everitt, p. 468). |
| M | (Prescriptive) Sun; recorded 21 Oct 1222,

granted W. Archbp of York a Mon market (CChR,
1226–57, p. 42). On 27 May 1227, the sh of Northumberland
was ordered to cause the archbp of York to have the market

owed 50m. of silver for his market (forum); the
following year he paid 40m. for his market and owed the remaining
10m. (PR, 2–4 Hen II, p. 178; PR, 5 Hen II, p.
14). It is possible that this relates to Mitford. |

Borough novus burgus c.1320 (BF, p. 145).

Hodgson, Beresford suggests that the borough was established by the
Cumin family, within the manor of Thornton in Tynedale (Beresford, p.
473; J. Hodgson, A History of Northumberland (Newcastle,

| NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
4258 5646. Borough 1100x35 (BF, p. 145). Mint 1135–54. Newcastle
upon Tyne, named from the castle first erected in c.1080, grew
rapidly in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries on account of its
maritime trade, especially in coal. It made a fine to avoid paying
the tenth in the Lay Subsidy of 1334 (Glasscock, p. 219). Market town
c.1600 (Everitt, p. 468). Fair 1587, Lady day in Lent
[presumably 25 Mar], Ascension day (Harrison, p. 393). |
| M
| (Prescriptive: borough, mint) recorded 1100x1135
[probably], forum, held by burgesses of Newcastle upon
Tyne. The market is mentioned in the customs of Newcastle upon
Tyne, which were drawn up in the reign of K Hen II, but state
that they describe the situation under K Hen I (W. Stubbs ed.,
Select Charters And Other Illustrations Of English
Constitutional History: from the earliest times to the reign of
Edward the First, 9th edition (Oxford, 1942), pp.
133–4). |
| F | (Prescriptive) feria recorded 28 Jan
1216, held by burgesses of Newcastle upon Tyne, in a charter
granted to them by K John. The feast of the fair was not given
(RCh, p. 219b). On 12 Nov 1318, K Edw II confirmed the
charter dated 28 Jan 1216 and granted the burgesses of Newcastle
upon Tyne an extension of the fair on vf Peter ad Vincula by 26

| OVINGHAM 4085 5637.
1336 Subsidy £6. Gilbert de Umfravill claimed the market and fair as
part of his barony of ‘Quyntham’, which is probably a
misreading for Ovingham (QW, p. 593). The only barony that
Gilbert appears to have held in Northumberland was that of Prudhoe,
which he inherited from his mother (I.J. Sanders, English
Baronies: a study of their origin and descent, 1086–1327
(Oxford, 1960), p. 73). Prudhoe is opposite Ovingham, across the
river Tyne. |
