Text Appearing Before Image: f their coming hither was thepersecution of the protestants in their own country, of whose persua-sion they were. They were by occupation glass-makers. At theirfirst coming to this town they wrought in their trade at the CloseGate. After that they removed into Staffordshire, from whence theyremoved again and settled upon the river-side, at the place called,from their abiding in it, the Glass Houses. Mr. Sidney Grazebrook,in a useful little book, entitled Collections from the Genealogy ofthe Noble Families of Henzey, Tyttery, and Tyzack, writes :— Not-withstanding what Bourne and others say, I do not think there is anyproof that glass-works existed, either in the neighbourhood of Stour-bridge or on the banks of the Tyne, before the year 1615, or there-abouts, when a patent was granted to Sir Robert Mansell, knight,vice-admiral of England, by James I. The whole subject of glassmanufacture on the Tyne is exhaustively treated by Mr. Clcphan inthe Archcuologia ^liana, vol. viii., p. 108. Text Appearing After Image: The Glass House Bridge, Newcastle.
