THE MANOR OP BBAL 301 



By the same deed, Selby released to Ord, in similar terms, 

 800 acres on the North-side of Beal for his share. It was 

 agreed the horse-and foot-ways should remain in common, as 

 also the well on the South-side of Beal " with the antient 

 and common usage of the same." 



THE ORD FEE. 



As has been already shown, the Ord purparty comprised the 

 lands held by Reveley in 1583,'^i land purchased from Palmer in 

 1584, and perhaps other parcels, as well as a moiety of the 

 manor. From the items given in the subsidy roll of 1671, 

 and from the terms of the deed of partition made in 1684, it 

 is apparent that the Ord family at that time possessed three 

 fourth parts of the township or vill. 



The William Ord who held land in Beal in 1631, may 

 be identified with William Ord, alderman of Berwick, who 

 having ranged himself on the Royalists' side in the Civil Wars 

 was, in 1649, declared a delinquent, and forced to compound 

 for his property at Beal, Grindon, Felkington, Newbiggin in 

 Norhamshire, and at Berwick. 22 He was succeeded by another 



^^ Thomas Bullock died in 1416, seised of lands in Beal. His daughter 

 married Thomas Revely (Raine, North Durham, p. 204) from whom descend- 

 ed the Revelys of Ancroft. In the fifteenth year of Bishop Tunstall (1544- 

 1545) Edward Ri veley , kinsman [? grandson] and one of the heirs of Margaret 

 Swyno, widow of Henry Swyno of Cheswyke, gent., Robert Rively and 

 Fortune his wife, Robert Hudson and Marion his wife, the said Fortune and 

 Marion being daughters and heirs of the said Margai-et, have licence to 

 enter without proof of the age of the said Fortune, Marion and Edward, 

 upon the lands lately held by the said Margaret. (39th Report of the Deputy 

 Keeper of Public Records, Part i., p. 11). Edward Revely of Ancroft, 

 made his will 12th October, 1569 (Raine, p. 221). His son William Revely 

 of Ancroft married Margaret, daughter of George Ord of Newbiggin in 

 Norhamshire and died 1st August, 1573, leaving, with other issue, a son, 

 George Revely of Ancroft and Newton Underwood. (Raine, pp 311, 222), 

 The said Margaret, widow of William Revely married secondly James 

 Swinhoe of Berwick (whose will is dated 15th Jan., 1602). As Margaret 

 Revely, widow, she was party to the deed abstracted in the text of 2ud 

 May, 1584 and as wife of James Swinhoe to that of 18th June, 1588. She 

 had issue of her second marriage and she made her will 19th March, 1609.
