Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment was undertaken in response to a proposed residential development. The site was identified as being within the heart of the medieval village of East Backworth. This was one of ten manors that came into the possession of Tynemouth priory during the 12th to 13th centuries although the village could have had earlier Saxon origins. During the post-medieval period the site became part of the grounds within the Grey estate, associated with a house built in 1675. In 1780 a new hall had replaced the old and the site became a formal garden. Cartographic evidence showed that the site had then remained free of development and had most recently been used a market garden. [Au(adp)] |
