Temple Thornton (Hartburn)

  • Description

    ....A carucate of land at Thornton was given to the Knights Templar by William de Lisle (about the time of King John) for the maintenance of a chaplain in Thornton chapel. This land probably made up part of their estate at Temple Thornton. In 1294 a dispute over certain liberties of the order was held at Newcastle Assizes.
