Description
Surtees, the early 19th century antiquarian, records that in 1361 Agnes widow of John de Menevyll of Horden held from Ralph Nevill the hamlet of Huntlaysheugh in Winlaton. Bourn, who called it Huntlayshaugh, understood this to be the original settlement of Winlaton Mill, before Crowley founded his ironworks, citing references Huntlay's Hall, Well and Burn.
