Excerpt from Local Records, or Historical Register of Remarkable Events, Vol. 1 of 2: Which Have Occurred in Northumberland and Durham, Newcastle Upon Tyne, and Berwick Upon Tweed, From the Earliest Period of Authentic Record, to the Present Time
To natives, residents, and others interested, the utility of a work of this kind must be obvious, as the most retentive memories, after a lapse of time, will be found defective, and, in consequence, many circumstances of peculiar local interest have been partially forgotten, if not buried in oblivion.
This district having long been the seat of the Romans who built the mighty wall, extending across the kingdom from sea to sea, antiquities of a peculiarly interesting character are constantly being discovered. To the Romans succeeded the Saxons and Danes, who visited this district with merciless ferocity, plundering and murdering the inhabitants, and burning the sacred edifices; then came the neighbouring Scots, who, on every inroad, dealt fire and sword with um sparing hands, which conspired to provoke many memorable and sanguinary conflicts. These, with every other remarkable event, from the best historians, periodical journals, mss private information and personal research, are faithfully given in detail, so that the work may be considered as a chronological history of the district, from the earliest period to the present time.
