The name Eccles occurs in each of the three Kingdoms _ It was a Sirname and Baronial title of great antiquity in Dumfries -shire & was Carried in the beginning of the 17th Century, from that country into Ireland, by a Cadet of the Eccles family _ Eccles in Berwickshire seems to have derived its name from the number of Churches or Chapels at one time Situated in the parish, for we have evidence that, besides the parish church, there was formerly a Chapel at Leitholm, & another at Birgham _ The term is plainly derived from the Greek word Signifying a Church _ The greatest length of the parish from |

North-east to South-West is 6 3/4 miles; & the greatest breadth from North-West, to South East 5 1/2 miles, & it contains 17.413 Square Miles - according to Mr Blackadder.
River Tweed bounds the parish on the South - The whole of the parish, with the exception of some slightly elevated parallel ridges, called Cotchet ridge, Brae Dunstan, & Bartle-Hill, consists of a plain beautifully fenced, cultivated & wooded.
Purvis Hall, the seat of John Purvis of that ilk, is situated in the parish. It is now unoccupied & going to decay - The family was founded only in the 17th century.
At Crosshall, about a mile to the north of the Village of Eccles, there is a cross or monument of white sandstone, without |

any inscription. It consists of a column, which passing through a base or pedestal, penetrates into the earth.
The late Sir John Paterson wished to remove it to near the Mansion-house of Eccles, & for that purpose employed workmen, who dug several feet into the earth without being able to reach the foundation of the column. An Antiquarian would regret that this monument has never been protected by any enclosure. The column above the base measures 10 feet high, 1 foot 6 inches broad in the West & east sides at the bottom, & 1 foot on the North & South. The pedestal, which is a large solid block of sandstone is 2 feet 6 inches high, & 3 feet square on its upper surface, & is raised 1 foot 6 inches above the ground, so that the whole elevation of the cross is 14 feet.
The north face of the column presents the sculpture of a cross "Calvary" with the upper part surrounded by a kind of shield.
The west side gradually becomes narrower upwards, and has at the summit |

a circular expansion 1 foot 6 inches in diameter, with a cross, & below an escutcheon, with a cheveron in the dexter & sinister chiefs, & precise middle base respectively, & a St John's Cross.
The South has an escutcheon similar to that on the west side, & beneath an ancient double-handed sword: the east a circular expansion at top, with a cross, & below, the naked figure of a man and a greyhound. Some have supposed that this monument was raised to the memory of one of the Percies of Northumberland.
The conjecture of Mr Robertson, is more probable, that it was erected after the Second crusade - which happened in 1114 - the crosses referring perhaps, to the Holy War, in honour of the father of Sir John de Soules, Lieutenant or Viceroy to John Baliol. The local tradition says that a governor of Hume Castle was killed |

on the spot in a skirmish.
The place where it stands was, till lately, called Deadriggs.
Eccles was anciently the seat of the Benedictine or Cistertian nuns. At what period the first foundation of this Nunnery was laid, no account can be derived from history. According to Hoveden and the Melrose Chronicles, it was founded a second time in 1154, or, according to Cowpar, in 1155, by Cospatrick, Earl of March, father to Earl Waldave, and was consecrated to the Virgin Mary. The abbreviation of the Scoto-Chronican annexed to Fordun, says that this Nunnery was established by the Countess of March. In 1296, during the interregnum in Scotland, Ada de Frazer, prioress of Eccles, obtained a letter of restitution, in consequence of the fealty sworn to Edward I by the Scots. |

In 1333, Edward III, after taking Berwick, received the fealty of the Convent of Eccles, & of the other Nunneries in the adjacent county.
The convent of Eccles was visited 13th November 1523 by the Duke of Albany, when retreating from Wark Castle. He stayed till midnight, & then marched to Lauder.
In 1545 the Abbey & town of Eccles, together with the tower of Mersington - were destroyed by the Earl of Hertford, who having been entrusted with the command of the troops in the north of England, made an inroad into Merse & Teviotdale, and ravaged and burned the whole country in his way, without receiving any check from the Scots. |

The ancient Nunnery, from the investigations of the Rev Mr Murray, appears to have occupied a square of 6 acres. The only remains if it are a wall, which forms part of the east gable of the mansion house, & two vaulted cells contiguous to the churchyard.
On the west side of the ruin, there is a large arched gate or doorway 9 feet 8 inches high and 6 feet 1 inch broad & within this there is part of a ruined stair, and the door of the south cell, which is 6 feet 4 inches high, and 3 feet 1 inch broad. The cell itself is 22 feet 3 inches by 12 feet 6 inches, & 10 feet 9 inches high. The walls are 3 feet 9 inches in thickness. The north cell is similar, but less.
The parish church is situated about a mile from the western side of the parish, and is therefore not so conveniently placed as it might be.
It is a large spacious building, furnished with a handsome spire |

and was built after the model of St Cuthbert's Chapel of Ease, Edinburgh. Its length is 78 feet 6 inches and its breadth 34 feet. It was erected in 1774 & conveniently holds 1000 people. The Manse & Glebe formerly lay to the south of the mansion house of Eccles, but their situation was changed at the expense of Sir John Paterson.
The present Manse is placed about a quarter of a mile to the rest of the church & was built in 1813.
The Glebe, formerly, called Birgham Park, lies in the front of the manse, amounts to 21 acres & consists of good land. |

In ancient times the Shire of Berwick seems to have been a separate jurisdiction from the Bailliary of Lauderdale, and to have been itself divided into the Merse and Lammermoor districts _ It is not easy to say what had been the original extent and exact boundaries of these three divisions, now almost obsolete _
For the purposes of agricultural inquiry, the whole county may be very conveniently considered under two districts The Merse |

and Lammermoor: the former including all the comparatively low level along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder and Eye, and the latter comprehending Cauderdale, along with the more eastern hilly country peculiarly called Lammermoor.
According to the general division just printed out, the merse designates the whole lower ground from Tweed, up the cultivated slopier of the lower southern range of the Lammermoor hills, including the western parishes of Nenthorn and Merton, and forming the largest piece of compact level ground diversified only by a few gentle undulations - to be found in Scotland - Mr Blackadder estimates this division to contain 100.226 acres. |

Mrs. Hood of Kames states that this is one of the old "Border Peels" And she was told that the name originated from the following circumstance viz. It was attacked by a small party of the English, the besieged ran short of provisions and to divide what little they had equally they took bite about: there are only a small portion of the walls standing, they appear to have been substantial and well built but it appears to be too oblong for one of the 'Peels' as they were generally square buildings - besides there is no mention made of it in any of the Statistical Accounts nor in any of the Border Histories that I have seen |

|
A small stream which takes its rise near Hume and falls into Lambden Burn near Messington.
Its name originated thus:- The day on which the battle of Hardacres Hill was fought it rained heavily, causing some of the blood on the battle field to be washed into this stream, which runs close to the scene of the battle. For two days after this event particles of clotted blood were observed floating down the stream, and from that date it has been generally known as Lapric Syke, from the Scotch word "lapper" to congeal. |

It is said that the slaughter at the battle of Hardacres, was so great that this stream ran for twenty four hours with blood, and from its being in a congealed or lapperd State it was afterwards called Lapperd Burn which has in course of time become changed to Laprig Burn. Another version for the origin of the name is that a man with the name of Lipprick had been drowned in the stream and in consequence of this it has received its name. _ |

This name, the Scottish term for "the Combs" applies to a long ridge consisting chiefly of waterworn stones, raised several feet above the Surface, and passing through the S W [South West] part of the parish in a N N W [North North West] direction. It is evidently of no artificial construction for it varies continually in its elevation and breadth and sometimes disappears underground for several hundred yards. It is supposed that an aqueous current, setting in from the North has at one time connected the German Ocean with the Irish Sea, and deposited in its course, the coarse gravel consisting of Graywacke and sometimes a very fine sand forming excellent Sandpits as is found in the field South of Hardacres.
Similar and very distinct ridges have also been observed towards the North in the part of Greenlaw and others, and a continuation of it is also traceable towards the South in the adjoining County of Roxburgh. The whole feature offers a very interesting investigation for a Geologist.
See the Name Sheet of Greenlaw Parish for some interesting correspondence sent to the Schoolmaster of the parish |
