Amhle and Hauxley. By J. C. Hodgson. 109 



His estate was advertised for sale in the Newcastle Courant of 

 I7th Feb. 1820, and is described as Hauxley Cottage, with 50 

 acres of land, and a farm of 295 acres in Hauxley and Amble. 

 In a subsequent issue of same newspaper, his farming stock and 

 household effects were advertised for sale on the 4th, 9th, and 

 10th May respectively. 



The purchaser of the estate was Mr James Dand of Gloster 

 Hill, a scion of an old Bedlingtonshire family, which settled in 

 this parish about 1770. His wife was of the ancient family of 

 Grainge of Sunniside, parish of Whickham. He made the 

 Cottage his residence until his death in 1844 : he devised Gloster 

 Hill and lands in Amble to his eldest son, Mr Kobert Dand of 

 Lesbury Field-house ; Togstou-hall and Amble New-hall to his 

 second son, Mr James Dand of Toi^ston-hall ; and Hauxley 

 Cottasre and Amble Moor-house to his youngest son, Mr Middle- 

 ton H. Dand. The latter is one of the oldest members of 

 our Club, and to his constant friendship and ever-ready help the 

 writer is greatly indebted. He presents the print of his 

 residence. [Plate III.]
