marks

This distinguished surname has two distinct possible origins, each with its own history and derivation. Firstly, Marks may be a patronymic form of the male given name Mark, from the Latin "Marcus", believed to derive ultimately from Mars, the Roman God of War. The popularity of the name throughout Europe was largely due to St. Mark the Evangelist, author of the second Gospel, who eventually became Bishop of Alexandria and patron of Venice. The first known British bearer of the name was a certain Marcus, proclaimed Roman Emperor by local troops in A.D. 406. Early examples of the surname include: Robertus Marcus (Hampshire, 1148), and Philip Marc (Nottinghamshire, 1209). One John Marks of Devonshire, and a George Marks of Cornwall were entered in the Oxford University Register in 1575 and 1593 respectively. The surname may also be of topographical origin, from residence by a boundary mark or border district, from the Olde English "mearc", mark, border. Mark near Highbridge in Somerset is named from the above element, and in some instances, the name may be locational from this place. One Adelolfus de Merc was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 for Essex. It was a usual medieval practice to add a final "s" to monosyllabic locational names. A Coat of Arms granted to the Marks family is a red shield, charged with a silver lion rampant and a gold engrailed bordure. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robertus Marks, which was dated 1288, in the "Court Rolls of the Abbey of Ramsey", Cambridgeshire, during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307.

spencer

A surname
Recorded in several forms including Spence, Spencer, the rare patronymic Spencers, and the aphetic Spender, this is an English surname but one of French origins. It is perhaps surprisingly occupational and originally described a despencier or despendour, a man who was in charge of purchasing and distribution of all food and provisions within a royal or noble household or a monastery. This was a position of great importance, and usually only lesser in status to the Steward. The derivation is from the Old French pre 8th century word despense, meaning to weigh, and the word was probably introduced into England by the Norman French after the Conquest of 1066. The spelling of the surname has always been with the transposed ''c'' rather than the ''s'' as in ''despense''. In Chaucer''s Canterbury Tales, the glutton in ''The Summer''s Tale'' is described as "All vinolent as botel in the spence". The four main officers of a noble household were the Steward, who was responsible for administration, Despencer for provisions, the Marshal for the horses, and the Butler, for household staffing. Since the Middle Ages there has hardly been a time in English history when a Spencer did not hold a major position in the state. The most prominent was the Princess of Wales, formerly Lady Diana Spencer. Her family, the Spencers of Althorp in Northamptonshire, claim descent from Robert, who was ''despenser'' to William the Conqueror, in 1066. Early examples of the surname recording include Henry le Despender in the Curia Regis Rolls of Warwick, in the year 1214, whilst the most famous of the early name holders was Sir Hugh le Despencer , who fought at the Battle of Falkirk in 1308, and whose son took part in the Siege of Calais in 1345. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

murton

Murton is a small village and civil parish in the Eden District, in the county of Cumbria.
Settlements within the civil parish of Murton include the villages of Hilton, Langton, and Brackenber. The town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is to the southwest.
Murton Pike to the north, is 594m high and a triangulation point, it is a southwesterly outlyer of Murton Fell which rises to over 670m at two points. Parts of Murton Fell lie within the Warcop Army Training area.

Murton is a village in County Durham, England. Lying six miles (9.6 km) east of the city of Durham and seven miles (11.25 km) south of Sunderland, it has a population of 7,339.

Originally a rural agricultural hamlet called Morton, the discovery of coal beneath its fields in the 19th century transformed it into an industrial community. ''Morton became known as Murton Colliery or Murton-in-the-Whins following the sinking of the pit in 1838 by South Hetton Coal Company, and the village was a productive coal mining community for over a century. The pit employed over 1000 men at its peak and featured in a Picture Post article showing the ''vesting'' of the mine at nationalisation in 1947.

seaham

Seaham, formerly Seaham Harbour, is a small town in County Durham, situated 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Sunderland and 13 miles (21 km) east of Durham. It has a small parish church, St Mary the Virgin, with a late 7th century Anglo Saxon nave resembling the church at Escomb in many respects. St Mary the Virgin is regarded as one of the 20 oldest surviving churches in the UK. Seaham is currently twinned with the German town, Gerlingen.

The people of Seaham have strong historic ties to Sunderland.
Seaham has fine beaches and easy transport links to the eastern side of the country. From 2001 most of the Durham coastline was designated as a "heritage coast" and Seaham beach was entirely restored. In 2002 the Turning the Tide project won, jointly with the Eden Project, the prize for Outstanding Achievement in Regeneration in the annual Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors awards. Seaham Hall is now a luxury hotel and spa.

In homage to the town''s link to Lord Byron, the new multi-million pound shopping complex, which now includes an Asda supermarket as well as Argos and Wilkinson stores, is named Byron Place. It aims to revitalise the area, using the successful redevelopment of the central shopping district of neighbouring town Peterlee as a benchmark. Asda officially opened on 3 September 2007 and the rest of the shopping centre opened in November 2007.

In 2006, a survey conducted by Halifax revealed that Seaham is the top property price increase hotspot in England and Wales as average prices rose by 172% since 2003. The average price of £117,266 is still, however, well below the national average. It is believed this surge has been greatly helped by regeneration work in the area, and in particular the popular new housing estate East Shore Village, built on the site of the former Vane Tempest colliery.
