Northumberland, 13th & 14th Century Journal for Newcastle & Gateshead

Description

Stepping Stones CD publication.

This is not one of our normal Directories but equally fascinating. It has over 450 pages covering a month to month journal of accounts happening in Newcastle and Gateshead from 1301 to 1500, mentioning names of new land owners, Inn leaseholders, deeds, wills, visiting Royalty and who was responsible for preparing their welcome, and even a list of meals and costs. As a research tool of the period it is invaluable, as a history of Newcastle and Gateshead it is fascinating.
