Civil & Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction
Historical Description
Aldburgh, the Isurium of the Romans, devolved upon the family of Aldburgh, that resided here in the spacious mansion called Aldburgh-hall. But though some of them were knights, the church produces but one single memorial of them, upon a flat stone inlaid with brass, being the figure of a knight in armour.
This church is an ancient structure: on the outside of the wall of the vestry is a figure about two feet and a half in length, which appears to be that of Mercury, with a part of the caduceus and the wings. In the church-yard is a grave-stone, in which is cut in relievo the half length figure of a woman in a Saxon habit, in the attitude of prayer.
The town is a borough, and returns two members to parliament; all the inhabitants that pay taxes have a right to vote. The town contains about 500 inhabitants.
Aldburgh was the capital of the Brigantes, and must have been the chief city of the island. Here reigned, in the early part of the first century, Venutius, and his Queen Cartismandua, who, confederating with her paramour Volucatus, deposed the unfortunate prince. Venutius, however, by the help of his allies, reduced the usurpers to great extremities. Cartismandua solicited aid from the Romans, and that people, ever ready to derive advantage from the dissensions of other nations, furnished her with succours. While such was the state of affairs, Caractacus, King of the Silures, celebrated in history for his warlike exploits, having defended his country for the space of nine years against the Roman force, was at length defeated, and sought protection among the Brigantes, where he fell into the hands of Cartismandua, and was by her order delivered up to his enemies. Venutius being still at the head of the greatest part of his Brigantian force, and in alliance with the Silures, took the chief command of the confederates, and made a noble stand against the invaders till he was defeated by Petilius Cerealis, who brought a great part of the country under the Roman dominion. About the year 79, Julius Agricola completed the reduction of the Brigantes, and remained some time in these parts, where he erected fortresses for the security of his conquests, endeavouring, at the same time, to conciliate the affection of the Britons by his humanity and politeness, while he rivetted their chains by incitements to luxury, and dissipation, and dazzled their eyes by a display of the Roman grandeur, in erecting superb temples, sumptuous baths, places for public assemblies, and other magnificent structures.
At this time the Roman city of Isurium must have been built; and Drake supposes, with great probability, that Agricola also laid the foundation of Eboracum, which soon after became the capital of the whole country.
The city of Isurium, according to the statement given by Mr. Morris, in a letter to the Right Rev. Dr. Gibson, Bishop of London, comprised within the Roman wall sixty acres by admeasurement, lying almost in a direct square upon the slope of a hill declining towards the river Ure on the north. But there seems to be some mistake, or miscalculation, in that gentleman’s account; for Mr. Hargrove says, that the walls which may yet be traced, were found to measure 2500 yards in circuit. If the city was nearly square, and from the plan which Drake has given, it seems to have been a parallelogram approximating to that form, it must have contained an area of considerably more than sixty acres. "The walls were about four yards thick, founded on large pebbles laid on a bed of blue clay, now wholly covered with earth, but laid open by such as want stones for building, where they have some large coarse stones of red sandy grit taken from a rock of the same in the town. To the clay, viz. the foundation, in several places, is four or five yards deep. The soil is all of a black earth, from whence the tradition that they have may be allowed, that it was burned by the Danes when York was destroyed by them; and this also appears frequently, upon opening the ground bones are found half burned, with other black ashes." In the year 1794, the foundation of the city wall was opened on the west side towards Boroughbridge, for the purpose of procuring stone. Its thickness was here found to be full five yards, and the depth about the same number of yards below the surface. At first there appeared layers of red grit stone in irregular pieces, mixed with lime and course sand, which continued to the depth of about seven feet, and afterwards layers of pebbles bedded in blue clay to the depth of eight feet, resting on a bed of sand. There were also found pieces of urns, several querns, or mill-stones, horns of deer sawn off apparently with a very fine saw; also a small head of a cow in brass, supposed to be a symbolical representation of the female deity Isis. In the year 1808, some workmen digging on the south side of Aldburgh, in order to widen the road leading to York, discovered a number of urns containing ashes and burnt bones, with a lachrymatory, a fibula vestaria, and eighteen human skeletons, one of which had a piece of money in its teeth, and another a ring on its finger, all in wonderful preservation, considering that they must have lain there more than 1400 years. It was evident that the bodies of those whose ashes were contained in the urns, had been burned on the place, as there was a thin stratum of black earth and ashes that covered the whole surface of the ground where they were deposited. A variety of Roman coins were also found at the same time. On Borough-hill, which formerly stood near the centre of the ancient Isurium, but was removed in the year 1783, were several curious specimens of tessellated pavements, and from the bases of pillars, sacrificing vessels, bones, and horns of beasts, especially stags, which have been found in this place, it seems to have been the site of a Roman temple. This hill was about four yards in height, and 100 yards in circuit, and was used in later times by the burgesses of Aldburgh, as a place of assembly for the purpose of electing their representatives in parliament.
Within the precincts of the ancient city, and in many places in the environs, great numbers of Roman coins have been found. Some few of these are of gold and silver, but most of them of brass, and chiefly of the following emperors: Augustus Caesar, Claudius, Vespasian, Domitian, Nerva, Trajan, Pertinax, Severus, Maximin, Valerian, Aurelian, Carausius, Alectus, Dioclesian, Constantius, and Constantine: those of Constantine have been found in the greatest abundance. There have also been found several fragments of earthen vessels wrought with knots, flowers, and heads of birds and beasts, and one with the head of Jupiter Ammon, besides chains of gold, polished signets, urns, lamps of various figures, fragments of aqueducts covered with Roman tile sixteen inches long, twelve inches broad, and two inches thick, and several pieces of Roman glass. But the chief Roman curiosities that are now to be seen, are the tessellated pavements, the largest and most entire of which was found in digging the ground-work of a cottage, in which it is carefully preserved for public inspection. In the year 1770, were discovered by digging within the town, the foundations of a range of buildings 216 feet in length, and twenty-four feet in breadth; the two outsides were exactly parallel to each other, running from east to west, and between them were several partitions. These foundation walls were of stone strongly cemented, three feet in thickness, and five feet below the surface.
The British name of this city, Iseur, appears evidently derived from Isis and Ure; but it is difficult to conceive how the Britons could have obtained any knowledge of a goddess, whom the Greeks and the Romans themselves had borrowed from Egypt; and it would be useless to attempt to investigate the various conjectures of antiquaries, on a subject in which it is impossible to hope for any certainty of conclusion. The Romans, by giving it a termination congenial to their language, altered it to Isurium, and it was totally changed by the Saxons, who called it Burgh, perhaps from the name of some town in their own country, and afterwards Aldbergh, or the old town, from its antiquity.
Although Isurium affords convincing proofs of its ancient grandeur, its history is extremely obscure. It appears to have flourished during the whole period of the Roman domination in Britain, and to have constituted one of the principal outposts to their capital, Eboracum, or York, which was the seat of their government, and the focus of their military force. It seems also to have been a place of considerable note in the lime of the Saxons; and its destruction, as already observed, is ascribed to the Danes. But from the evident marks of fire discovered on opening the ground, as also from the tessellated pavements, and other Roman antiquities, generally found at about the same depth of two feet below the surface, it appears that the ancient Isurium did not perish by a gradual decay, but by some sudden and unexpected calamity. The most probable conjecture therefore is, that the Roman city was destroyed by the Saxons in some part of that bloody and turbulent period which preceded their establishment in this country, and of the transactions of which history has preserved nothing but a confused memorial. The conquerors, who generally built their towns on the sites of Roman cities, rebuilt Isurium, and gave it the name of Aldburgh, or the Old Town. And it therefore appears that it was the Saxon city, not the Roman Isurium, which was destroyed by the Danes. The area of the ancient city is for the most part laid out in fields, and from the situation of the tessellated pavements, it is evident that the ruins have raised the ground about two feet above the Roman level.
The family of Aldburgh, which formerly flourished here, resided in a spacious mansion, now called Aldburgh-hall. Some of this family were knights; but the male issue failing about the commencement of the last century, the estate was divided among three co-heiresses, and by their marriage transferred to different families. In the church one single memorial of this family remains. This is a flat stone inlaid with brass, on which is the figure of a knight in armour, bearing on his shield the arms of Aldburgh, with this, inscription, "Will de Aldburgh, "on a scroll under his feet.
The church, which is a vicarage, in the patronage of the Dean and Chapter of York, is an ancient structure, and supposed by Drake to be built out of the ruins of Isurium. On the outside of the wall of the vestry, is a figure of about two feet and a half in length, which seems to be that of Mercury, as part of the caduceus, and the alae are yet perceptible. In the church-yard is a grave stone, in which is cut in relievo the half length figure of a woman in a Saxon habit, and in the attitude of prayer.
The Roman road from Pretorium or Patrington to Gabranticorum Sinus, now Burlington Bay, runs through Aldburgh, whose name proves its high antiquity.
ALDBROUGH is a parish, township and large village, pleasantly seated on a gentle acclivity about 1 mile from the German Ocean, 5 miles south-east from Whitedale station on the Hull and Hornsea branch of the North Eastern railway, 7 south-south-east from Hornsea, 8 north-by-east from Hedon and 12 north-east from Hull, in the Holderness division of the Riding, middle division of the wapentake of Holderness, Middle Holderness petty sessional division, Skirlaugh union, Hedon county court district, rural deanery of Hornsea, archdeaconry of the East Riding and diocese of York. The church of St. Bartholomew is a building of stone in the Transition Norman and late Perpendicular styles (1353—77), consisting of chancel, nave of four bays, aisles, south porch and massive western tower containing 3 bells, and a clock placed in the tower in 1849, at a cost of £105, by Mr. John Truslove, a native of this place: in the south aisle, affixed to the wall, is a circular stone, formerly a Sun.-dial, round the margin of which is a Saxon inscription, which may be thus translated:-“Ulf commanded this church to be built for the souls of Hanum and Gundhart”; it is supposed that this curious stone belonged to the ancient Saxon church; the Ulf, or Ulphus, here mentioned, was the famous chieftain of Deira who bestowed his lands and drinking-horn on the minster at York, where the latter is still preserved: on the north side of the chancel is a building, anciently forming two chantry chapels, one of which was the burial place of the Melsa or Meux family, who in the 14th century resided at Bewick Hall; in this chapel is an altar-tomb, with a recumbent effigy in armour, 6 feet 6 inches in length, to Sir John de Melsa, lord in 1292 of the manor of Bewick, ob. 1377; another altar tomb of freestone bears the effigy of a lady, displaying the arms of Meux, and supposed to represent Maud, the wife of Sir John de Melsa; there were four chantries in this church, dedicated in honour of the Blessed Virgin, St. Germain, St. John of Beverley and The Holy Trinity: the nave and aisles were restored in 1871, at a cost of £2,050, and in 1907 the church tower was restored at a cost of about £300: the church affords 450 sittings. The earliest register is a long folio in vellum, bearing date 1510, but the beginning is wanting, and there is a gap from 1519 to 1580: the entries begin regularly from 1653. The living is a vicarage, annexed to the rectory of Colden Parva, joint net yearly value £290, with 122 acres of glebe, in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and held since 1887 by the Rev. Austin Buchanan Prole, of Trinity College, Dublin. The Wesleyan chapel, erected in 1888, at a cost of £650, is an edifice of red brick, with sittings for 250 persons; extra land, affording an enlarged site, was presented by John Grindell esq.: the Primitive Methodist chapel, built in 1850, and enlarged in 1907, has sittings for 100 persons. Robert Towry, in 1663, left 130 acres of land in Aldbrough for the benefit of the poor parishioners, of which 92 acres are now let as a farm for £120 a year, the remainder being in allotments and producing £30 per year; the trustees comprise the Vicar and churchwardens of Aldbrough; the whole amount is divided amongst poor widows and applied to the apprenticing of poor boys. Tymperon’s Charity maintains five poor widows; two are lodged at Beverley, and each is allowed 5s. a week, with coals and clothing, and in addition a sum of £2 each at Easter; there are also two cottages left for two widows at a nominal rent, and two other cottages under the control of the Parish Council, which are let rent free. Brewing and malting is carried on at the brewery owned by Messrs. Ralph Jackson and Sons. There are slight traces of a Roman road in the vicinity. In ancient times there was a castle here, of which, however, there is no record of a later date than 1115, and it is supposed to have been carried away by the sea. Major W. G. R. Chichester-Constable J.P. of Burton Constable, is lord of the manor. The trustees of Tymperon’s Charity and William Bethell esq. of Rise Park, are the chief landowners, the latter being also owner of the great tithes, amounting to £283. The soil is chiefly sand and clay; the subsoil is clay. The crops are wheat, oats, beans, seed, barley, peas and turnips. The area of the township is 4,886 acres of land and 81 of foreshore; rateable value, £5,863; the population in 1911 was 680 in the township and 805 in the parish.
By a Local Government Board Order, which came into operation March 25, 1885, a detached part of Aldbrough, known as Scarshaws, was amalgamated with Withernwick.
