The parish of Longnewton was originally called Newton, the meaning whereof, in the speech of the Saxon settlers, is obvious; the prefix (lang) long was added by them to denote the elongation of their Newton. The church of Longnewton anciently belonged to the monastery of Jedburgh, but to the Episcopal Superintendence of Glasgow. The church has been long ago demolished; but its cemetery continues to be used, by those Parishoners, who regard the remains of their Fathers.

OS1/29/1/21 Lilliard's Stone Lilliard's Stone continued Struck off - In honor of her memory, the spot where she fought & fell, & on which she was buried, is marked by a monument the original of which has almost all been destroyed, but in whose stead a new one was lately erected on which is inscribed the original epitaph, which runs thus ", (see preceding page), New Statistical Account P244. The foregoing statements must not be taken as being correct as Jeffrey in his "History of Roxburghshire" demolishes the whole Fabric - He writes as follows - "We have now to notice another memorial standing on the top of Lilliard's Edge and said to be erected near the spot where a lady of that name fell fighting in the Scottish Ranks at the battle of Ancrum Moor, in 1545 - The tradition
OS1/29/1/21 [Page] 21 Parish of Ancrum W Beatty
OS1/29/1/22 Lilliard's Stone Lilliard's Stone continued is that a young female, belonging to the town of Maxton having lost her relations & lover when "Evers" destroyed her native village, swore to revenge their death, & accordingly she joined the army of the Scots & performed deeds of valour - she was buried where she fell, near to the edge of the Roman Road. There seems to have been another stone on which the above inscription is said to have been cut, but was broken in pieces previous to the middle of the last century- In the answers made to "Maitlands Queries" in 1743, we find it stated that the monument was then destroyed, and that the inhabitants of that day were indebted to tradition for the words of the inscription- It is doubtful if ever any monument was erected
OS1/29/1/22 [Page] 22 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/23 Lilliard's Ston Lilliard's Stone to the memory of the maiden who acted so brave a part in that well contested field - We do not wish to disturb the popular belief that a female fought in the ranks of the Scottish army on that day, but we think that there are good reasons for doubting whether the early stone seen at that place was erected to her memory - Even the name of the person, whose fall is said to have been so honored, is open to question - The site of the statue is upon the edge of the Roman way, which there passes the summit of the ridge - it occupies the exact position of the mile stones which these people were in the habit of setting up on the edge of their military ways, and it is probable that this so-called monument was a stone of this kind; but the original stone being destroyed, there is nothing to show that it really was a Milestone Another ground for thinking that the stone, said to have stood at this place was not erected to a person who fell in 1545, is that we find in that locality a stone cross existing under the name of "Lyliot's Cross" nearly two hundred years before that period - A new war having broken out in France, the Scots, to favor

OS1/29/1/24 Lilliard's Stone Lilliard's Stone continued the French people quarrelled with the English, at St. James's Fair, & burnt the town - This affray having taken place during a subsisting truce between the two kingdoms, Commissioners were appointed to enquire into, & remedy the grievances of the Border Subjects, and by whose fault the truce had been broken - They met in October 1380, at Lyliot's Cross, Maxton & Muirhouselaw, but the Conferences were adjourned to Berwick, at which it was agreed to meet at Ayton in the following June (1380) - The Commissioners accordingly met and after having Continued the discussion for several days, agreed to hold another March day at "Lyliot's Cross" on the 1st day of July 1383 - At the time agreed upon they met at Lyliot's Cross and Continued their Conferences at Muirhouselaw for ten days - There can hardly be a doubt that the broken stones, about one hundred years ago were fragments of the Lyliot's Cross - It is important to notice,
OS1/29/1/24 [Page] 24 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/25 Lilliard's Stone Lilliard's Stone continued that at this time the English held Roxburgh and nearly all Teviotdale - The top of the edge was therefore a convenient place for the meeting of the Commissioners of either Kingdom Lyliot's Cross may have been erected by the monks of Melrose as one of their boundary stones on their obtaining property in Morehouselaws from Robert de Berkley, and his wife Cecilia, and in testimony of which gift a great stone was erected in Morrie - But be this as it may, it is clear that the erection is of an earlier date than the period fixed by popular tradition - The place where the maiden fell, is pointed out on the slope of the ridge, at a short distance from where the Stane is set up - It is easy to see how the cross came in the course of time to be associated with the maiden, who is said to have fallen in battle - Being situated on the summit of the ridge, and a conspicuous object, it would form a guide Post to the grave, and in the lapse of years be identified with it -

Chalmers quotes from the "New Statistical Account" and Morton has been guided by both Chalmers & the Statistical Account. therefore the three authorities entered are not worth more than one. The following extract from Jeffrey's History of Roxburghshire respecting this subject is given as he differs from the three authorities entered in page - " Ancrum is one of the oldest towns in Scotland. So early as the Inquisitis Davidis in 1116, the church & territory appear

OS1/29/1/56 Malton or Mantle Walls Malton or Mantle Walls Continued as belonging to the Bishop of Glasgow. It was at first called the Barony of Ancrum, afterwards the Barony of Nether Ancrum. Although named differently, the territory remained the same. The Bishops of Glasgow had a rural Palace at Ancrum, from whence many of their charters are dated. Considerable difficulty exists as to the site of this house, It is said by the editor of the Origines Parochiales the the remains of the Bishops Palace form part of the Castle of Sir William Scott and that the Bishop's house is styled by Lord Dacre, in his letter to Henry VIII, shortly after the battle of Flodden. The Castle of Ancrum - The like statements are to be found in the interduction to the Chartulary of Glasgow with the addition that the gardens in which
OS1/29/1/56 [Page] 56 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/57 Malton or Mantle Walls Malton or Mantle Walls Continued the early Bishops practised horticulture were within the present century to be seen at the back of the Castle. In support of these views the editor refers to the "New Statistical Account" and "Mortons Monastic Annals". But on turning to these works it will be found that they contain no warrant for the statement. It is true that Morton quotes the letter of Lord Dacre to his sovereign, in which it is stated that the Castle of Ancrum was burned, but it is not said that the Castle was the Bishop's Palace, and no information is given as to its situation. It appears to me that the views of the learned editor on this part are wholly untenable. The present Castle of Ancrum stands in the territory of Over Ancrum, and never was comprehended in the Bishop's Barony of Ancrum. Over Ancrum belonged in property to the Monks of Jedburgh. The lands and town of Over Ancrum with the mills & cottages thereof formed a part of the grant by King James to Alexander, Earl of Home in 1610.
OS1/29/1/57 [Page] 57 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/58 Malton or Mantle Walls Malton or Mantle Walls Continued Had any part of over Ancrum been the property of the Bishop's of Glasgow, it would have appeared in the grants by the Crown of the whole estates of that Church to Lennox and Roxburgh. The fact that the gift includes only the Barony of Nether Ancrum, conclusively shows that the property of the Bishops did not extend beyond the territory known as Nether Ancrum, which is now enjoyed by the family of Roxburghe. The Castle or Palace of the Bishops of Glasgow must be looked for within the Barony of Nether Ancrum. After the most careful consideration I am inclined to think the ruins popularly known as the Malton or Mantle Walls lying within the land of the river, formed a part of the Bishop's house or Castle. It is said that the name is derived from the place having been at one time the property of the Knights of Malta, but
OS1/29/1/58 [Page] 58 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/59 Malton or Mantle Walls Malton or Mantle Walls Continued I do not think it probable, that the order ever had any property in Ancrum. If they had, it could only have been obtained from the Bishops of Glasgow, of which there is no evidence. It is more than likely that the name originated the popular belief that the place was the property of the Knights of Malta. The name Malton or Mantle seems to denote a Mansion house or principal residence, forming a part or in the immediate vicinity of a religious house. The original Mansion house of the Erskines of Shielfield stood adjacent to the Abbey of Dryburgh and on ground fined from the commendator, was called the Mantle House. The same name is to be found at Melrose Abbey. Viridaria sub lie Mantle Wall. It may therefore be fairly resumed that the Malton or Mantle Walls
OS1/29/1/59 [Page] 59 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/60 Malton or Mantle Wall Malton or Mantle Walls continued was the mansion of the Bishops in the immediate vicinity of their chapel. The place is within the Barony of Nether Ancrum, and was indoubtedly a part of the estate of the church of Glasgow, and included in the grant to Lennox and afterwards to Roxburghe. In addition to what is stated in regard to the buildings which once existed here it may be noticed that I have information from old persons who were told by their parents that in their youth a high gable and in it a beautiful window, stood next to the tower. The last portion of the walls fell in 1837 and the Plough has gone over the whole building. Scarcely an old Dike or house in the neighbourhood but has been in part built out of these remains. The town of Ancrum was burned by Dacre in 1513.
OS1/29/1/60 [Page] 60 Parish of Ancrum
OS1/29/1/61 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
