In 1874 Mr. W. D. Sutton brought Alders list up to date, and various lists of localities have been published from time to time, scattered in various journals.

  • Some Account of Ancient Oaken Coffins Discovered on the Lands Adjoining Featherstone Castle, Near Ealtiohistle, Northumberland
    II.—Some Account of Ancient Oaken Coffins discovered on the lands adjoining Featherstone Castle, near Ealtiohistle, Northumberland. By THOMAS WILLIAM SNAGGE, Esq. M.A. Bead Feb. 3rd, 1870. IN the year 1825 some labourers who were employed in draining a swampy field upon a farm belonging to the Featherstone Castle estate came upon what seemed to be part of the trunk of an oak-tree. Finding that it impeded the progress of their work they endeavoured to cut it out with an axe, when to their surprise they discovered that the trunk was hollowed and contained some human bones, which, however, speedily became dust when exposed to the air. Proceeding with their work they found the remains of four more coffins of the same kind, in one of which was part of a skull. The workmen are said to have passed several coffins lying north and south, very near each other, and about 5 feet below the surface of the ground. At the instance of Mr. Wallace,* the owner of Featherstone, a letter describing the discovery was written to the Society of Antiquaries of Newcastle by his land- steward, Mr. Hutton. This letter gave but an imperfect account of the coffins. It was followed by another letter addressed to the same Society by Colonel Blenkinsopp Coulson, a gentleman who happened to be on the spot when the discovery was made. This letter adds nothing to our information except that it describes the coffin as " formed from the bole of an oak-tree which has been split by the wedge and hollowed out in a very rough manner to admit the body, the lid secured at the head and feet by wooden pins Few bones were found, and those after being exposed to the air shortly became dust."b It does not appear that the communication led to any discussion in the Society, or that any theory was raised respecting the date or origin of the coffins.
