Excerpt from A History of Northumberland, Vol. 6: The Parish of Bywell St. Peter, the Parish of Bywell St. Andrew With Blanchland, the Chapelry or Parish of SlaleyThis, the sixth, volume of the History of Northumberland, comprises the two ancient parishes of Bywell St. Peter and Bywell St. Andrew, with their respective chapelries of Shotley and Blanchland, together with the ancient parochial chapelry or parish of Slaley. These parishes and chapelries occupy, to a great extent, the high district which forms the water-shed between the Tyne and Derwent. The eastern half of the district is traversed by Watling Street, which enters it near Ebchester and leaves it at a point in the township of Riding, near Corbridge. The volume comprises the history of twenty-one townships, all of which are members of the baronies of Baliol and Bolbec, and the baronies themselves are treated of at some length.Since the publication of their last volume the Committee have lost two of their colleagues by death, viz., Rt. Rev. Mandell Creighton, Bishop of London, who lent the powerful support of his name to the inception of the scheme, and major-general Sir William Crossman, who, as long as his health permitted, was a regular attender at the monthly meetings of the Committee, where his presence and counsel were always welcome.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
