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. The order was suppressed in 1312 and all their property in Northumberland was granted to John de Kingston. The present Temple Thornton is a farm of 108 acres.... -
