If one may assume that Crosswellgate was named after the Cross Well then the well was situated in Pandon and dated from c. 1240-50 or earlier. A more precise location cannot be fixed since I am now not wholly convinced that Crosswellgate can be equated with Pandon Bank, Bourne for example thinking it was Pandon on Wall Knoll. If, however, the former identification is right then the well was to be outside the later town wall, and Brand appears to confirm this view, suggesting that the reservoir (and springs) at or near Conduit Head at the top of Pandon Bank may have been the Carmelites' water supply. A spring called the Crosswell was granted by Edward I to be shared between the Commons of Newcastle and the Carmelite Friars (HER 1425) in 1278, on the grounds that it was an artificial well relied on by dyers, fullers and other craftsmen of the town. Sailors and merchants also used it as a source of fresh water. An enquiry held on 23 September 1278 heard that the total appropriation of the spring by the Carmelites would be of incalculable damage to the town, but with careful management, the Friars could have a third of the water without injury to the town. Peter Graper, burgess of Newcastle, upon Tyne, later granted the Cross Well in 1351 to the Augustinian Friars (HER 1436) at an annual rent of 1s - the Carmelite Friary was vacant between 1307 and 1360. Dated C13th.

In the medieval period a parochial chapel dependent on St. Nicholas. Its parish included Heaton, Byker, Pandon and Newcastle to the Lort Burn. Date of origin uncertain: the Transitional west door in the tower suggests 1150-90, though 1286 is the earliest documented date. In the late Middle Ages the church (largely Perp except where noted) consisted of a west tower (lower stage Trans) surmounted by a small square lantern with conical roof, aisled nave, and aisled 4 bay chancel (rebuilt in mid C14) over a crypt. The church contained 7 chantries, a pulpit, a font (now in Kirkharle church), and the Thornton brass (now in St. Nicholas). Its reported overall dimensions: 166 feet x 77 feet. Demolished in 1786, and replaced with the present church (1786-1796, HER 8947) which lies over the medieval tower and nave, the chancel projecting into the churchyard. Dated C12th.

Bronze spearhead recovered from the Tyne above the bridge in Newcastle in, according to Miket, 1867. Formerly in the possession of R. Blair, it was listed by Canon Greenwell in 1887, and became part of his collection which later passed to the British Museum. "Plain pegged spearhead with long, slender, leaf-shaped blade. Peg-holes have been broken off with end of socket. Point bent". 401 mm long, 60 mm max. width.

In 1344 Robert of Byker granted to John Segerstane, a hermit, a plot of land in Byker 200 feet square, and a lane 20 feet wide extending from the plot to the Tyne, held from the manor of Byker, on which to build a chapel in honour of the Virgin Mary and St. Ann. This was on land which, in 1549, was annexed to Newcastle. In 1597 chapel was used as a hospital during a plague outbreak. After the Reformation it fell into decay, but in 1628 was repaired at the expense of the town, and continued in use until replaced in 1768 by the present church. In the 18th century it was described as a chapel of ease to All Saints; had its earlier status been different? The site of this first chapel was probably reused for the second. Its representation on Bourne's map apparently shows a small oblong (one cell ?) building, with 3 south windows, and a possible west door below a bellcote. Dated C14th.

Not known who occupied manor during reigns of first Norman kings. The manor of Heaton passed to Robert de Clifford by marriage before the end of 1278. However, before 1237 Ralph de Gaugy III granted a portion of his lands, including Heaton to Adam of Jesmond. Adam of Jesmond's fortified resident in Heaton is recorded in a document of 1267. It was held on a tenancy by Robert of Ryal in 1298, and passed from the Ryals to the Musgraves by marriage in the C14, remaining with that family until 1482. It was then divided between the heirs, John Fenwick (and so eventually to the Ridleys), and Robert Mitford (and so eventually to the Whites), the two halves being finally reunited in 1755. There were two extents, 1421 and 1454. Both record the site of a capital messuage, an orchard, a garden, 100 acres of demesne land, 30 acres of wood, 6 husbandlands in 1421, and 7 + 7 cottages in 1454. The buildings are presumably also represented by the 'camera' (SMR 116) and the village (SMR 1406). Dated C13th.

In 1976 S.J. Dunn, of St. Mary's Place, Throckley, found 4 clay pipe bowls in a midden near Blaney Row, Throckley Reath. All the bowls were of Parsons' type 18. 1. Plain bowl. 2. Two bowls with the stamp 'Tennant and Sons', probably William Tennant of Newcastle, 1875-1925. 'Burns Cutty' is stamped on the stem. 3. A bowl decorated with a fish-scale pattern around the upper part, and a curved linear pattern at the junction with the stem. On the stem are the letters 'DE...' and '...ND', probably the stamp of J. Denton of Sunderland, working from 1865.

"A Roman Sestertius was found by a Mr. Watson on his farm at Throckley House some time ago. It is made of Orichalcum, an alloy of copper and zinc which has the appearance of gold. On the obverse it showed a bearded and laurel-wreathed Emperor with the inscription L(usius) VERUS AUG(ustus) PARTH(icus) MAX(imus) - Lucius Augustus Greatest of Parthian Conquerors. On the reverse a human figure with his hands behind his back representing the defeated Parthians. The inscription reads TR(ibunus) P(opuli) V IMP(erator) III CO(n)S(ul) II, the 5th season as Tribune of the people, 3rd as Emperor and 2nd as Consul. The date of this coin is between August and December 165 and was issued to commemorate the victories in Parthia in that year". Dated C2.

When Jobey dug the surviving mound at Stotts House in 1964 he found beneath it plough-marks. These were the earliest evidence for human activity on the site and, because they predated the military way associated with Hadrian's Wall, he concluded they were either prehistoric or Roman.

Said, by the NCH, to have been recovered from the Tyne at Newcastle before 1887. Hence the above grid ref, though the OS and Miket both locate it further upstream. There does not seem to be any evidence for a precise findspot. Miket suggests this was one of the three daggers which had been in R. Blair's possession before they passed into the Greenwell Collection, and so to the British Museum. "Rapier with notched butt, probably cut down from a butt with two rivet holes. Blade has well-marked central ridge and flat lozenge-shaped section; edges are bevelled". 495 mm long.

A pair of squared stones, "resembling those of which the gateways of the mile-castles on the Wall were built", was found in or before 1807 in a garden wall at Heaton Flint Mill. RPW sites this "west of the Ouse Burn, near Byker Bridge", but Heaton lay east of the burn, and the flint mill is shown on the 1st ed. OS 6" at the second grid and map refs above.³ The inscribed one of the two stones, 25 x 19 in., was presented to the Society of Antiquaries by Sir Matthew White Ridley Bart.³ c(enturia) Iuli Numisia/ni Vlpius Can/alius / et L(ucius) Groutius From the century of Julius Numisianus Ulpius Canalius and Lucius Groutius (cut this)
