172 NOTES ON PAWSTON, MINDRUM, SHOTTON, ETC. 



Knight Templars. When tlieir possessions were seized by the 

 Crown in the reign of Edward II., the rents of divers tenants in 

 the vills of Mildroni, Shottone, Heddon, Pakkeston, Kyllum, 

 Langetone, Lilleburne, Welloure, Akiewyke and Bamburgh 

 amounted to 60s. l|d. (Tate's Alnwick, ii., p. 64). They were 

 holding the Alnwick property in 1291. The order was instituted 

 in 1118, and introduced into England before 1135. It was 

 abolished 1312, and the Knight Hospitallers succeeded. More 

 about the lands here in the Sheriff of Northumberland's return 

 of their property. Mindrum is here written Mildrom, as if it 

 were connected with a mill. Mindrum mill is still in existence. 

 We have no record of any chapel or church, so far as documents 

 are within reach.
