ALNWICK, the county town of Northumberland, is a market and union town, polling place, railway station, parish, and township, and head of a county court district, distant 35 miles west from the German Ocean, 12 from Rothbury, 15 from Belford, 19 from Morpeth, 30 south-south-east from Berwick-upon-Tweed, 34 north-by-west from Newcastle-on-Tyne, and 306 from London: it is in the Northern division of the county, and in the eastern division of Coquetdale ward, Alnwick rural deanery, Lindisfarne archdeaconry, and Durham diocese. The parish consists of the townships of ALNWICK, ALNWICK SOUTH SIDE, ABBEY LANDS, CANONGATE, DENWICK, and HULNE PARK. The town is delightfully situate, amidst beautiful scenery, at a considerable elevation above the level and on the south bank of the Aln, from which river it derives its name. Here is a branch station, distant 3 miles west from Bilton junction, on the North Eastern railway.

Alnwick is an ancient borough, but its archives do not contain any royal incorporation charter, but an established incorporation is recognised. The corporate name is, “The Chamberlains, Common Council, and Freemen of the Borough of Alnwick,” the officers being composed of 24 common councilmen, four of whom are annually elected chamberlains; they exercise no jurisdiction over the affairs of the town, but being possessed of property in land and houses, they support a large classical, mathematical and commercial school and two clock towers. The Wallsend, Wesleyan, and Congregational chapels—viz., the Cordwainers, Skinners and Glovers, Merchants, Tanners, Weavers, Blacksmiths, Butchers, Joiners, Tailors, and Coopers: each company is governed by an alderman and stewards, appointed annually. The county magistrates hold their sittings at the justice-room on the first and third saturdays in each month.

The Michaelmas quarter sessions for the county are held annually at Alnwick.

There is a Board of Health, consisting of eighteen members, who, besides exercising the ordinary functions of a board of health, have powers for the improvement of the town: this board has thoroughly drained the town, and an abundant supply of good water has been brought from a distance of 3 miles: the water supply has been carried into all the houses: fire-plugs are fixed in the street about thirty yards apart.

Alnwick had formerly an abbey of Premonstratensian Canons, which occupied an extensive site, but the gateway tower of the Abbey buildings alone remains. The Alnwick Horticultural and Botanical Society hold their annual exhibition in the Abbey grounds.

The Abbey bridge, a fine stone structure of three arches, crosses the Aln, on the Wooler road. The town was formerly defended by four massive towers, of which Bondgate alone remains, a massive mediæval structure, erected by a son of the celebrated Hotspur.

The town is well built; the houses and the public buildings are chiefly constructed of freestone; many of them are of considerable elegance: the streets are spacious and well paved.

The church of St. Michael, situate in the vicinity of Bailiffgate, is an ancient stone edifice, chiefly in the Decorated and Perpendicular styles; it consists of a low square tower, attached to the west end of the south aisle, nave, and chancel, with north and south aisles running the whole length of the church: the entire length is nearly 140 feet, the breadth, 62 feet; the chancel is 57 feet long. There are not many monuments of any importance, except three large recumbent effigies in the chancel, on altar tombs: one a dead lady, an angel (mutilated) on each side of the head, smoothing the pillow, and at her feet a dog; a coronet is carved on the head, and a wimple under the chin; probably the lady was Lady Isabel, the widow of William de Vesci, the last Vesci baron of Alnwick: one of the other figures is a layman, the other a monk. Two old statues are now placed in the baptistry, under the tower; one is supposed to be Henry VI., the other St. Sebastian; there are 3 bells, the two more ancient having inscriptions dated 1456 and 1480 respectively, in Lombardic characters, and therefore probably as old as the fourteenth century: the capitals of the chancel pillars are very finely carved, and are very beautiful in design and execution: there are several very beautiful stained memorial windows. At the south-east corner of the chancel there is a curious turret rising above the wall; winding stone stairs lead from the St. Mary chapel up it to a chamber, and thence to the summit, which was used in the old days of border warfare as a beacon to warn of approaching danger. Henry IV., on July 6th, 1408, gave a licence to Henry Earl of Northumberland, to William Bishop of Coventry, to Henry Percy Knight, Lord of Poynings, and to John Lemmington, esquire, in the law, to found a chantry to the praise and glory of God and in divine honour of the most blessed Virgin Mary, at the altar of the same Virgin within the chapel of St. Michael of Alnwick for two chaplains who were to sing praises daily there. One of the chaplains had to instruct poor boys in grammar, gratis. A residence for the two chaplains was probably built immediately after 1448 in the ecclesiastical style of that period, in Walkergate street, not far from the church, to which they had access by a churchway, which during the present century was shut up by Hugh, Duke of Northumberland: within this house the poor scholars received their education; it was a two storied building, a quaint picturesque house, such as an artist loves to sketch; in the house the two masters lived and kept school, one teaching grammar and the other singing. The style of the building is Late Perpendicular Gothic, about the same age as the south wall of St. Michael’s church. The chantry house is now a roofless ruin. The chantry itself, however, was within St. Michael’s church, but in what part cannot be determined with certainty; but its chantries were usually in the east end, and at one time there was a piscina near to the south-east corner of the chancel.

The chantry house is now a roofless ruin. The chantry itself, however, was within S. Michael’s church, but in what part cannot be determined with certainty, but it is a piscina near to the south-east corner of the chancel, it may be inferred that the altar of S. Mary stood there; and this is strengthened by the well-cut stone window being called the S. Mary’s window. In the vestry is an ancient large oak chest in length, and curious feet of a hunting scene is represented, in the upper compartment, with stag and doe and hounds, and huntsmen winding horns; in others are grotesque animals, chiefly winged dragons; the carving which is rude, had been executed in the fifteenth century; but it may not be of native production, for chests of similar design and workmanship were imported from Flanders. The chancel was enriched with oak carving, by the Duke of Northumberland in 1875, consisting of a beautiful reredos and side screen for the sanctuary and the top of the stalls ornamented with bunches


the foliage of various trees, beautifully executed by Mr. John Brown, carver at the castle. The register dates from the year 1645. The living is a vicarage, a yearly value £260, with residence, in the gift of the Duke of Northumberland and held by the Rev. Edward Heath Trotter, M.A. of Christ’s College, Cambridge. St. Paul’s church, in the Green Bat, was built and endowed in 1846, at the sole expense of the third Duke of Northumberland, at a cost of £12,000: it is a handsome stone structure, in the Decorated Gothic style: the roof is high-pitched and open, stained in imitation of oak, and the sitting are massive oak benches. A memorial window has been erected in the chancel, designed by W. Dyce, esq., R.A. and executed at the royal manufactory at Munich: the subject is the Preaching of the Apostles Paul and Barnabas at Antioch; the picture occupies the five lower lights, the tracery lights being filled with ornamental patterns: the scene is represented as taking place within a recess of Gothic architecture, the back of which is pierced with windows, through which the blue sky appears, whilst the front is open, upon which are represented the family coat-of-arms of the Percys and the arms of the several baronies to which the Duke was entitled, and also the following inscription:—“ In the year 1856 this window was placed by public subscriptions to the much-valued memory of Hugh, third Duke of Northumberland; a fine recumbent figure, in Caen stone, by Carew, of London, of the founder of the church, habited in his robes as a Knight of the Garter, is placed on the tomb. The register dates from the year 1846. The living is a vicarage, yearly value £250, with residence, in the gift of the Duke of Northumberland and held by the Rev. Jove, James Mauger, Perry, M.A. of Sussex College, Cambridge. The Catholic church, dedicated to St. Mary, was erected in 1836; it has a mixed day school, under Government inspection. There are Presbyterian, Congregational, Methodist New Connexion, Wesleyan and Unitarian chapels. The Alnwick Corporation Schools were built in 1853 at the sole expense of the borough, the fourth Duke of Northumberland giving the site. The Grammar and Mathematical schools, which were previously separate, have been united in the new buildings: the education, which embraces the classics, modern languages and mathematics, is free to the children of freemen, and is open to others on the payment of fees. The Duke of Northumberland’s school, erected and founded in 1810 by Hugh, second Duke, is open for the education of 100 boys, free: it is under a trained and certificated master, an assistant, and pupil teacher; and Her Grace supports an Industrial school, in which 50 girls are clothed and educated. The National school for boys, girls, and infants are common to the whole town; there are about 650 pupils. The Ragged, or Industrial school, is supported by voluntary contributions, and is free to children whose parents are not in circumstances to procure them education elsewhere: besides these, there are two church and five dissenting Sunday schools, numerously attended. The Cemetery, situated about half a mile south from the town, consists of about six acres, and was consecrated in 1856, and has two mortuary chapels. The Town Hall on the west side of the Market place, in the centre of the town, was erected in 1731: it contains a spacious hall, with two rooms adjoining, and is used for the election of knights of the shire for the northern division of the county, the manor, and county courts, meetings of the common council, and several companies of the freemen, and the public meetings of the town. The Corn Exchange is a stone building in the main street, and possesses every requisite for the transaction of business. The House of Correction, situate in the Green Bat, was erected in 1807: it contains cells and other necessary apartments, with two separate yards for the prisoners, and a spacious Court-house for holding petty sessions. The Infirmary was established in 1815: it is under the management of two physicians, two surgeons and a resident surgeon. The Savings Bank was established in 1816; the deposits and Mechanic Institution in 1824, the latter possesses an extensive and excellent library. There are charities of upwards of £100 yearly value. The trade of the town is chiefly dependent on the surrounding agricultural district, and the wealthy families in the neighbourhood. There are two extensive tobacco and snuff manufactories, a tannery and brewery, and several maltsters, brewers, and corn millers. The market, held on Saturday, is numerously attended, and is well supplied with dairy and farm produce and meat. A cattle market is held every Monday. There are fairs for sheep, cattle, and horses on the 12th May, the last Monday in July, and the first Tuesday in October. A wool fair is held on the first Saturday after the 6th July. The fairs for hiring servants are the first Saturday in March, 12th May, and the first Saturday in November. Aydon Forest, or Alnwick Moor, a tract therefore of 2,591 acres of uncultivated land, which had been unenclosed, and the pasturage of which had been one of the privileges of the freemen, was enclosed and allotted about 1856 under an award by the Commissioners for the Inclosure of Commons, and about 300 acres were set off and enclosed as a stint of one acre each to individual freemen; in 1869 and 1870 a sum of £8,000 was expended in draining, fencing, and providing roads for 1,000 acres, at which time each freeman was allowed 3 acres, making a total of 4 acres each, these are usually let out in farms, some of the farms are therefore have over a hundred landholders; there are a coal pit, quarry, and lime kilns, also steam corn mill in which corn is threshed and stored—the remainder being used for pasturage. Alnwick Castle is situated on the southern bank of the river Aln, and commands the great north road: it is about 30 miles distant from the Border, and in the olden times was considered a frontier stronghold: its historical associations are of a most varied and important character, and have been sung and told in countless ballads and legends. Before the walls of Alnwick Castle, fell Malcolm, King of Scotland; a few centuries later another Scottish king, William the Lion, was taken prisoner before its towers. From Alnwick Castle issued the hero of Chevy Chase, when he sallied forth to that celebrated but “woeful hunting;” and from Alnwick poured reinforcements that made Flodden one of England’s most famous victories. Above all, its intimate connection with the memory of the gallant Hotspur and his “gentle Kate” casts around it a halo of romance and chivalry not to be matched in interest by that of any other edifice in the kingdom. This noble pile of buildings hands down to us in beautiful preservation some choice portions of Norman architecture, but the great mass of the edifice is of the Edwardian period. In the last century considerable transformations were effected, which destroyed, in great measure its characteristics as a Border castle; to repair this error, the noble owner, his Grace Algernon, fourth Duke, restored (in 1854 to 1864) the edifice to its pristine grandeur and impressiveness, and, with the aid of Italian architects and artists, converted the interior into one of the most sumptuous residences in the country. The keep of Alnwick Castle consists of a cluster of towers of various shapes and heights, forming a ring round an inner courtyard. The keep is itself surrounded by two outer walls or balliums, and the whole is enclosed by a curtain wall, strengthened at intervals by large and imposing towers. Whether approached from the town by its strongly-defended barbican, or seen from any other point of view, Alnwick Castle affords to the mind a most suggestive, vivid picture of past times, and presents to the eye a perfect specimen of mediæval castellated architecture. Opposite the railway station is a noble column, 100 feet high, surmounted by a lion passant, the Percy

crest, and at the base four lions couchant: it bears the following inscription—“To Hugh, Duke of Northumberland, K.G. this column is erected, dedicated, and inscribed by a grateful and united tenantry, A.D. 1816.”

The Duke of Northumberland is lord of the manor and chief landowner.

The area of Alnwick township is 4,604 acres; rateable value of the parish is £35,155; and the population of the township in 1861 was 5,958, and in 1871 it was 5,922.

Parish Clerk, Edward English.

Alnwick South Side is situate about 2 miles southeast, and comprises the hamlets of CAWLEDGE EAST, MIDDLE, and WEST PARKS, GREENSFIELD, HOBBERTLAW, RUGLEY, SHIEL DYKES, and SNIPE HOUSE. The Duke of Northumberland is lord of the manor and sole landowner. The soil is chiefly clay, and produces good wheat and peas. The area is 5,760 acres; population 284.

Abbey Lands is adjacent to the town, on the north side, and includes the following hamlets—viz., BROOMHOUSE, HECKLEY HOUSE, and HECKLEY GRANGE. Abbey Cottage, the residence of Major Holland, is delightfully situate on the north bank of the Aln. Heckley House occupies a fine situation, 2 miles north of Alnwick. The Duke of Northumberland is lord of the manor and sole owner of the land. The soil is clayey and strong loam. The crops are wheat and turnips. The area (which includes the townships of CANON GATE and Hulne Park) is 5,336 acres; population 169.

Canongate is a township adjoining Alnwick, of which it forms a part. The gasworks are situated here. The area is returned with Abbey Lands; population 469.

Hulne Park is a township, situate on the northwest side of the town; it includes the hamlets of HULNE ABBEY, PARK FARM, and WIGHT HOLMES. In Rotten row, which is the approach to the park from the castle, is a monument bearing the following inscription:—“William the Lion, King of Scotland, besieging Alnwick Castle, was here taken prisoner, A.D. 1174.” On Brislee Hill, within this park (2 miles north-west from Alnwick), is an elegant tower, commanding some of the finest prospects in the country; it is 90 feet high and contains a staircase leading to the top, which has a balcony round it. Hulne Abbey, whose picturesque ruins are situated about 3 miles from Alnwick on the north bank of the Aln, was founded in 1240; the tower has been preserved more entire than the abbey; it was repaired by the first Duke of Northumberland, in the modern Gothic style. The Duke of Northumberland is lord of the manor and sole landowner. The area is returned with Abbey Lands; population 181.

Denwick is 1 ½ miles east from Alnwick, and locally situated in the Southern division of Bamburgh ward. A chapel of ease was built here in 1876 by subscription; it is a small Gothic structure, consisting of chancel and nave, with one bell, and will seat about 100: it is licensed by the Bishop of Durham, and is served by the clergy of the parish church of Alnwick. The Duke of Northumberland is lord of the manor and owner. The soil is clay and loam. The crops are wheat and turnips. The area is 1,550 acres. Population 181.

The History of Manchester, New Hampshire and the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company

  The story of Manchester, New Hampshire, is the definitive narrative of the American Industrial Revolution. It is a chronicle that spans centuries, transforming a vital Indigenous fishing ground into a planned corporate utopia that housed the world's largest textile empire, before navigating a devastating collapse and emerging as a modern high-tech hub.
