108 Brotherwick By J. C. Hodgson. 



In a survey^^ of 1616 we find that Lancelot Ogle held lands 

 in Brotherwick, partly of the king as freehold, and partly 

 of the earl of Northumberland as copy or leasehold, which 

 he was charged with confounding.

 Though four tenants appear in both of these surveys, the 

 township would seem, in the 17th century, to have fallen 

 into thirds. The history of 



The Fkeehold Third 

 of Brotherwick and that of Nunriding, near Mitford, ran 

 parallel, perhaps from the time of Elizabeth to our own day. 



In 1567 Wm. Beadnell was a free tenant in Brotherwick, 

 holding tenement, garden, croft, etc., in severalty.'* In 1568 

 Lemington and Nunriding are returned by the Queen's Feodary 

 as belonging to Edward Beadnell, whose son, Ralph, died 

 r2th August, 19 Eliz., possessed of Lemington, Learchild, 

 and Nunriding, leaving a son, Robert, who was of the age 

 of 10 years at the inquest, after his father's death, taken at 

 Hexham 8th April 1582.'^ 



Before 1628 Nunriding had passed into the possession of 

 Wm. Fen wick, who, in 1663, was rated for Langshaw, Newton, 

 Nunriding, etc. ; but ' Mr Oxenbridge ' was rated for lands 

 in Brotherwick. In 1693 the proprietor was 'Mrs Barbara 

 Bonner,"^ whom I suspect to have been a member of the 

 Fenwick family, though unnamed in the Rev. John Hodgson's 

 continuation of the pedigree, entered by the family at the 

 Heralds' visitation of 1615."

'' The Beadnells were somewhat extensive holders of lands of the 

 dissolved religious houses.
