492 ANTIQUITIES OF NORTHUMBERLAND. 



December, 1750, at New York, in North America, at the age of 

 twenty-one years, and nine months, and was buried there. The 

 feat-houfe is modern and handfome, on the fouth fide of a deep 

 gill, on an eminence ; an agreeable profpecl: of the vale under it. 



On Hedgky-Moor, on the left hand of the road, is a wrought 

 flone pillar, fixed in a pedeftal, called, Percy's crofs, from its 

 being erected to the memory of Sir Ralph Percy, who was flam 

 in an engagement with Lord Montacute, 3 K. EdivtirdTV, 1463, be- 

 fore the battle of Hex ham- field fc). The Percy and Lucy arms are 

 cut upon it in relief, Hill very fair. 



A little beyond Percys crofs, on the banks of the rivulet f 



BramiJJj, is, 



Brandon-Whit e-Houfe, which was the feat of a younger branch 

 of the Colling'woods of EJllngton (d) ; and of Lancelot Allgood, of 

 Neivcajllc upon Tyne, Efq; in 1701 ; on whofe death it came to his 

 nephew, Ifaac Allgood, Efq; father of the prefent pofTeflbr, Sir 



Lancelot Allgood, of Nunivick, Knt (e). 



We crofs the BramiJJj by a new ftone-bridge, above which, on 

 the right hand, and in fight, is 



Branton, a fmall village, fuppofed by Dr. Gale (f) to be the Ro- 

 man ftation JBremenium, now fixed at Rochejler in Reedfdale fg). Here 

 the diflenters have a very handfome meedng-houfe. 



Four miles weft from Branton, on little Cheviot, is a large Karn.
