Abstract:		 The Cartulary of the Cistercian monastery of Newminster contains a detailed boundary charter for the Northumberland township of Sturton Grange, near Warkworth. This is one of very few medieval boundary charters for a complete township in Northumberland. The paper sets the charter in its historical context, and then attempts a detailed reconstruction of the boundary perambulation. It is shown that much of the boundary can still be located, and some sections seen in the landscape. A field name surviving virtually unchanged since the twelfth century is identified, as is a tongue of land called a `lynga' in the charter, together with the rediscovery of a spring named in a thirteenth-century charter. The changing medieval landscape, with pressures on the remaining woodland and open pasture, can also be traced through subsequent medieval charters and agreements.
