fenton

This is an English locational name from the various villages so called in the counties of Lincolnshire, Northumbria, Staffordshire, South Yorkshire and Cumbria. All share the same derivation, which is from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "fen" meaning a marsh, and "tun", a fenced enclosure. This later developed into a homestead, then a hamlet of few houses, and later a village, town, or even a city. The surname of Fenton is ancient and in some cases it denoted the lord of the manor, as in Sir Thomas de Fenton of Staffordshire, recorded in the Heraldic Rolls of King Edward 111 (1327 - 1377). In general locational surnames were given to people who moved away from the original homelands and went to live or work in another village or town. Early examples of the surname taken from medieval records include Adam de Fenton of Derbyshire in the year 1230 a.d. and William Fenton of Lincoln in 1332. Captain Edward Fenton (1536 - 1603) was one of the British sea captains who with Sir Francis Drake and Sir John Hawkins, broke the power of Spain, and secured the colonies of New England in what is now Virginia. Edward Fenton may well have been the first Fenton to set foot in America, but the first settler of the name was the Rev. Michael Fenton, who is recorded as being buried at ''Elzabeth Citty, Virginea'' on January 23rd 1624. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter de Fenton, which was dated 1199, in Pleas Rolls of the county of Yorkshire, England, during the reign of King Richard l, known as ''The Lionheart'', 1189 - 1199.

This distinguished surname, with over fifty entries in the "Dictionary of National Biography", and having no less than seventy-five Coats of Arms, is of Olde English pre 7th century derivation. It has two completely distinct possible origins. The first and most obvious being a topographical name from residence by or on a hill. The derivation is from the word "hyll", and requires no further explanation. These topographical surnames, which in their early forms were accompanied by a preposition such as ''''ate'''' or ''''del'''', were mong the earliest created, as natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. Early examples of the name from this source include William Attehil of Cambridge in the 1260 Subsidy Rolls and Thomas del Hill of Yorkshire in the 1379 Poll Tax rolls. However recent research indicates that many name holders may derive from the medieval personal and baptismal name "Hille". This is a semi nickname or short form of one of the many Anglo-Saxon compound names with the first element "hild", meaning battle or war, such as Hildebrand and Hilliard or the French ''''hilaire'''' from the Latin ''''hilaris'''' meaning ''''cheerful''''. These are all surnames and personal names in their own right. One of the ''''first'''' of all Americans was Elizabeth Hill, recorded as born in ''''Elizabeth Cittie, Virginia'''' before 1620. The earliest coat of arms is that of Sir Robert Hill in the time of King Henry V1 in 1430 was silver, a black chevron between three water bouchets.

cottages

1. bungalow, cottage, house
usage: a small house with a single story
1. a small house, usually of only one story.
2. a small, modest house at a lake, mountain resort, etc., owned or rented as a vacation home.
3. one of a group of small, separate houses, as for patients at a hospital, guests at a hotel, or students at a boarding school.
Originally in the Middle Ages, cottages housed agricultural workers and their families. The term cottage denoted the dwelling of a cotter. Thus, cottages were smaller peasant units . In that early period, a documentary reference to a cottage would most often mean, not a small stand-alone dwelling as today, but a complete farmhouse and yard .

Thus, in the Middle Ages, the word cottage denoted not just a dwelling, but included at least a dwelling and a barn , as well as, usually, a fenced yard or piece of land enclosed by a gate . The word is probably a blend of Old English cot, cote "hut" and Old French cot "hut, cottage", from Old Norse kot "hut".

Examples of this may be found in 15th century manor court rolls. The house of the cottage bore the Latin name: "domum dicti cotagii", while the barn of the cottage was termed "grangia dicti cotagii".

Later on, "cottage" might also have denoted a smallholding comprising houses, outbuildings, and supporting farmland or woods. A cottage, in this sense, would typically include just a few acres of tilled land. Regional examples of this type included the Welsh House in a night, built by squatters on a plot of land defined by the throw of an axe from each corner of the property.

wooler

Wooler (pronounced /ˈwʊlər/ WOOL-ər) is a small town in Northumberland, England.
Wooler was not recorded in the Domesday Book, probably because when the Book was written in 1086, northern Northumbria was not fully under Norman control. However, by 1107, at the time of the creation of the 1st Baron of Wooler, the settlement was described as "situated in an ill-cultivated country under the influence of vast mountains, from whence it is subject to impetuous rains". Wooler subsequently enjoyed a period of prosperity and with its expansion it was granted a licence in 1199 to hold a market every Thursday. The Saint Mary Magdalene hospital was established around 1288.

Wooler is close to Humbleton Hill the site of a severe Scottish defeat at the hands of Harry Hotspur in 1402. This battle is referred to at the beginning of Shakespeare''s play Henry IV, part One - of which Hotspur is the dashing hero.

Wooler also used to have a Drill Hall that used to be the local "Picture House" that children were evacuated to in World War Two. There also used to be a fountain situated at the top of Church Street in the town.

Alexander Dalziel of Wooler (1781-1832) was the father of the celebrated Dalziel Brothers. Seven of his eight sons became artists, and as engravers in London there was no one to touch them. Their sister Margaret was also an engraver.

Between 1887 and 1965 the town was served by Wooler railway station on the Alnwick to Cornhill Branch.
