ihip of Sir Alan de Heton, i K. Richard II, 1378 ; who in that year 

 was at the taking of Berwick upon Tweed from the Scots, under 

 the right honourable H*nry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and his 

 ion Henry Lord Percy, where he had his particular poll affign- 

 ed him in the afTault, and acquired great honour by his 

 valour (c). He died in the latter end of that reign, and left three , 

 daughters and coheirs ; viz. Elizabeth, married to Sir John de. 

 Yenwick ; Mary, to Sir tfilliam Swhiburn ; Johanna, to Sir Robert 

 Ogle (f). It is now the feat and manour of Ed-ward Hag- 

 gerflon, Efq; a younger fon of the late Sir Carnaby Haggerfton, of 

 Haggcrjton, Bart, and brother to the prefent Sir Thomas. His feat 

 is in a low fituacion, by the fide of a fmall ilrcam. The church 

 is on a higher ground, in a folitary field, in fight from the pofl> 

 road. 



From the gth mile-flone, we have a fine view of 



Bambrough-CaJlle (gj ; which (lands on the ridge of a fleep hill 

 above the fea, and from the ftile of the architecture of the bafeof 

 the old tower now remaining, of the Doric order, is believed to 

 be of Roman original. It is very probable, that whilfl the Romans 

 held poffemons in Scotland, and north of the wall, they had their 

 exploratory towers and forts along the coafb, and did not leave 

 it naked and defencelefs, expofed to the inroads of an enemy,.
