Background
History
Heversham had an abbey in the early Anglo-Saxon period. According to the Historia de Sancto Cuthberto, in the early tenth century its abbot, who was called Tilred, purchased the village of Castle Eden and gave half of it to Norham abbey so that he could be abbot there, perhaps because Heversham Abbey had been destroyed by the Vikings. Part of a carved stone cross still survives. It was found under the lych-gate of St Peter's Church, which may indicate that the monastery was located nearby.
