Archaeologia Aeliana Series 4 Volume 32 Pages 126-159. 1281. Richard of Gosebek23 was dead in 1281, holding moieties of Bolam, Aydon and South Middleton, and property at Cowpen24. The property was retained in the king's hands, however, as Margery, his widow, was in Suffolk and unable to take the required oath not to marry again without the king's consent25. A few months later she did homage, took the oath, and was given possession26.
At this time we again find a reference to Shortflatt [Map], in a charter granting land in Greenleighton (Lithdon) to Newminster Abbey [Map], one of the boundaries being defined as "the toft of the lady of Shortflatt" (dominae de Scortfiatte)27. The charter is undated, but it immediately follows one of Richard of Gosebek, and it seems probable that the lady of Shortflatt was Margery of Gosebek.

Learchild Roman Fort, Whittingham, Northumberland Region, North-East England, British Isles [Map]
Learchild Roman Fort [Map] fort is preserved as a cropmark or very low earthwork.

The fort contains two constructional phases and therefore provides insight into the development in Roman military fortifications between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. More widely the monument also provides insight into the Roman conquest of northern England.
