| Malton or Mantle Walls | Malton or Mantle Walls Continued | In 1544 it was burned by Sir Ralph Evens and also Ancrum Spital, Both towns were burned to the ground by Hertford in 1545. Ancurm Spital was also destroyed. Morton identified this spital with the Malton Walls, but it is clear that the spital here meant stood at Harestanes. In the list of places destroyed, Ancrum Spital is classed with the Nesbets and Bonjedworth, while the towns of Over and Nether Ancrum appear in the list after the towns of Bonjedworth, and along with Barnhills Minto etc. Had the Ancrum Spital of the list stood at the East end of Ancrum it would have appeared along with the Town. I am satisfied there never was a Spital at Ancrum town. Blaen in his Theatrum Scotiae properly places Ancrum Spital on the North bank of the Ale" Jeffrey's History Roxburghshire Vol II Pgs 349.356 |
