From his Site 4 C, south of Bar Moor, Cocks recorded 4 flints. The following was found by W. Rutter on the south side of the site in Aug. 1952, and described by Cocks as "Brown flint lozenge shaped arrowhead. Secondary working on both edges of point. One side convex and one side concave. 1.25 x 7/8". No. 263

In his Site 4 B, south of Bar Moor, Cocks found a few flints, 8 being worth individual mention. No. 5: 'honey coloured flint flake probably part of large leaf shape arrowhead "rather nice" 1 x 13/16'.

In his Site 7, south of Bar Moor, Cocks found, in May 1945, "Hammer or mace head with unfinished perforation on both sides. 4 x 2.75". "Sculptured Stones"(sic), no. 4. In this same group he included "Cup marked gravel with one cup. Woodside. 6 x 4.25. Apl. 1944". No. 3 And in "Objects of probable prehistoric origin", found in the NW quarter of the site in April 1952, "Disc of jet or cannel coal shaped by scraping on edges. 1.5 x 1.25". No. 8

In his Site 7, south of Bar Moor, Cocks found during the 1940s and 1950s c. 100 flints. He recorded in his notebook that 4 certainly, nos. 34, 36, 324-5, and 2 possibly, nos. 2 and 196, were leaf-shaped arrowheads.

Bradley, whatever this meant at the time, seems to have become distinct, though not then separated, from Crawcrook by the late C13 when the bishop granted Wm de Garmundesway 5.5 acres in the old field of Bradley. In c. 1320 Wm de Bradley, son of Wm de Garmundesway, granted John son of Richard de Horsley his capital messuage, watermill and land in Bradley, and in 1497 Bradley Hall is described as a manor. It must be supposed that this medieval ?manor house was the antecedent of the present 18th century hall, though not necessarily on the same site. N.B. the above grid reference is for the existing hall. It should be noted that, in the mid C19, Bradley Hall and grounds were no longer in the township of Crawcrook, but had been transferred (why and when?) to Ryton Woodside. Dated C14th.

There is certainly a watermill at Bradley on the O.S. 1st ed. 6" map; the question is how long has it been there. In addition to the medieval references to the mill of Crawcrook, there is specific mention in 1320 to a mill possibly/probably in Bradley: Grant by Wm de Bradley son of Wm de Garmondisway to John son of Sir Richard de Horseley of his capital messuage and water mill and land in Bradley in the territory of Crawcrook. The arrangement of two mills is perhaps made more likely by the division of Crawcrook between Kepier Hospital and the Horsleys of Bradley in C14. The 1st ed. map shows the mill on the east bank of the Stanley Burn, apparently with weir, ponds and millstream. Dated C14th.

The first reference to a mill in Crawcrook is in Boldon Buke, c. 1183 (a survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset). There is a reference in the C13 to a mill and millstream, in 1320 to "a capital messuage, water mill and land in Bradley", in 1390 to a water mill in the vill of Crawcrook. This might imply two mills even in the Middle Ages, Crawcrook and Bradley, but it is impossible to be sure. In 1800 the enclosure award lists a "water corn mill called Crawcrook East Mill", and the 1st ed. O.S. map shows Crawcrook Mill (corn) on the north side of the East Field, with a mill dam apparently fed from Eadington Well. It has disappeared under Clara Vale. Dated C12th.

A pot containing about a dozen supposed Anglo-Saxon stycas of Ecgfrith (A.D. 670-685) were found in ?1822 during the digging of a grave in a part of "Heworth chapel yard" which had never been used for burial. This find was exhibited to the Society of Antiquaries by the Rev. John Hodgson, then Rector of Jarrow, and thought to support a date contemporary with Jarrow for the foundation of Heworth chapel. In the early 1980s the coins were examined, and found to be fakes, i.e. they were made of metal which had originally been pennies temp. George III. The pot is now also suspect.

This entry is based on a single documentary reference supposedly to a leper hospital in Ryton, founded before 1242. Date of dissolution unknown. There is no known site. The above grid reference, and hence the map number, is to Ryton village, but seems more likely than the O.S. NZ 1363, which puts it in Crawcrook on the neighbouring map. The reference does not seem to prove beyond doubt the hospital's existence. "Johannes Bercarius et utting filius eius de domo leprosorum fugerunt pro bidentum huarum prepositi de Riton furto, et malecreduntur. Iudicium, exigantur per sectam Curie. Et quia Magister Hospicii non habuit dictos Johannem et utting, ideo in misericordia". Dated C13th.

The earliest reference is in Boldon Buke, c. 1183 (a survey of land belonging to the Bishop of Durham, Hugh du Puiset), when Crawcrook with the villeins, demesne and mill was at farm. In the C13 the bishop granted the vill to Kepier Hospital.19th century local historians seem agreed that Crawcrook then came to be divided between the Hospital, and the Horsley family, the Horsleys holding - among other things - the manor of Bradley. In 1794, when the open fields were enclosed, there were said to be 12 ancient farms. Though, when Bourn was writing at the end of the C19, he noted that the village was almost entirely modern its early shape is nevertheless detectable. This is described by Roberts and Austin as Type 6, "Irregular two-row plan, without a green, and sometimes 'winding'". Dated C12th.
