Description
West Chirton village (HER no. 764) was cleared at some point between 1377 and 1538. In 1539, after the Dissolution, Sir Thomas Hilton, Crown tenant of the priory and its estates, was not held to account for the rent of the Grange or Vaccary of Westcherton, Howdon Close and open pasture on the moor. They were among property retained in the custody of the constable of Tynemouth Castle for the king's use. In 1631 the grange, etc. was granted to William Collins and Edward Fenn. This may be the forerunner of one of the farms surviving on the first edition Ordnance Survey map: West Chirton House, West Chirton Farm & High Chirton.

Chirton
Description
Flatworth and West Chirton together formed part of the Wirecester barony of Hadston, created by Henry I. In 1158 Henry II ordered Flatworth to be given to Tynemouth Priory, and in 1166 Jordan Heron held the lands "which may be identified with West Chirton". In 1256 the priory acquired the manor of West Chirton, and though they evicted some tenants, there were 14 in 1294 and 12 in 1296. At some date after 1377, and before the Dissolution of 1538, the tenants of West Chirton were evicted, their lands annexed to Flatworth and turned into pasture. Such an early desertion, and the extensive modern development of the area, has left no visible evidence. Positions on the north side of the Newcastle-Tynemouth road west of East Chirton, and perhaps west of Balkwell Avenue (ex Balkwell Lane) are possible locations.

Such an early desertion, and the extensive modern development of the area, has left no visible evidence, and the grid refs suggested by the OS and Wrathmell are mere guesses based on farms etc. on the 1st ed. A position on the north side of the Newcastle-Tynemouth road west of East Chirton, and perhaps west of Balkwell Avenue (ex Balkwell Lane) is a possibility but no more. Dated C13th.

Chirton
Description
The township of Chirton lay west of Tynemouth and Preston, and came to include 3 villages. Between 1093 and 1116 two Chirtons were granted to Tynemouth Priory and, since the priory did not acquire West Chirton until 1256, these two must have been East and Middle Chirton. The earliest specific reference seems to be in Vita Ordnance Survey mapwini, c. 1111. In 1294 there were 14 tenants; in 1295 11 bondagers each held 36 acres. The bondage system did not survive, however, and at the Dissolution there were 3 customary tenants with identical holdings while two-thirds of the township were common pasture or waste. Clearly the settlement had shrunk before the end of the Middle Ages, and before 1604 all 3 tenements were in the hands of one family, the Reeds of East Chirton, and later the Milbankes. In 1805 their Balkwell estate was sold. The site of the original village is uncertain - perhaps either Balkwell or West Chirton House, both of which appear on the first edition Ordnance Survey map.

Description
The township of Chirton lay west of Tynemouth and Preston, and came to include 3 villages, of which only the site of East Chirton seems reasonably certain. Between 1093 and 1116 two Chirtons were granted to Tynemouth Priory and, while later evidence shows these to be East and Middle Chirton, they were not explicitly described as such until 1292. In 1294 East Chirton had 10 tax-paying tenants, and 4 with minor holdings. During the Middle Ages pieces of land were acquired by the priory as demesne, and at the Dissolution there were 5 tenements here, described in 1606 as each having a house, barn and garth, with 45 acres of arable, etc. The street pattern survives, but all the buildings have been replaced. The village lay on the east-west Newcastle to Tynemouth road at its junction with Silkey's Lane and Chirton Lane (ex Billy Mill Lane).

Two of the five farms were bought by Ralph Reed, a colliery owner and salt manufacturer, which were sold by his son to John Clarke, an agent of the Earl of Northumberland who built Chirton Hall in the early 1670s.

Monkseaton
Description
The Northumberland County History suggests the priors of Tynemouth worked or let out coal pits in the Monkseaton area, but the earliest published document is the account of Robert Arderne, the Queen's collector in Tynemouthshire, for 1577-78, which records the receipt of 20s of new rents for the pit or pits and mines of coal acquired, opened, dug or won in the territory of Monkseaton and other nearby places. The pits had been let to John Robinson for 21 years by letters patent dated 24 July 1584 (there is clearly some confusion over these dates). In 1584 the Monkseaton pits were drowned out, but mines did appear to be working in this area in the 17th century.

The pits had been let to John Robinson for 21 years by letters patent dated 24 July 26 Eliz. The dates seem irreconcilable - is this Gibson's error? In 1584 the Monkseaton pits were drowned out, but mines did appear to be working in this area in the C17. The record of Borings and Sinkings by the North of England Institute of Mining Engineers (1885) gives the depth of Monkseaton Pit in 1754. Dated C16th.

Part of the church of the Benedictine Tynemouth Priory "was set apart for parochial purposes and divided from the rest of the building by a stone screen erected at the time of the Transitional extension of the chancel". The vicar was appointed by the prior of Tynemouth, and the vicarage generously endowed. After the Dissolution the nave of the priory church, i.e. the parish church, remained standing and in use, to the annoyance of the governors of the castle. It steadily decayed, however, and when the Civil war broke out the parishioners could no longer obtain access to it. In 1650 it was "quite ruined", ten years later the roof fell in, and a new parish church (Christ Church) was built to replace it. The first baptism there took place in 1675.

Tynemouth was one of the ten manors belonging to the priory. Though it is known that it had its demesne in common, had its own mills, and a pasture separate from the nearby manors, it is nowhere stated where it was located, or of what it consisted. Barbara Harbottle has suggested that the extensive farm buildings shown, on a 16th century plan, to lie within the priory precinct in the north-east part of the headland may represent the manor.

Description
In 1698 the Society of Friends opened their first meeting house in North Shields. It stood at the Bull Ring, and near to it, in Coach Lane, opposite Trinity Church, they bought a piece of copyhold land from Robert Lawson of Chirton for a burial ground. Phillips notes a burial as early as 1711, but the NCH merely states the graveyard was in existence before 1729. In 1800 a new meeting house was acquired with, in 1811, a new burial ground close by. Both these graveyards were closed by order in Council under the Burial Acts of 1853-54. Phillips, in 1894, noted the site was still intact, "separated from the public road by a high stone wall", and used for grazing. Its most recent use was as a small garden. The burial ground was excavated in 2010 by PCA. No headstone were found intact. In total, 243 individual graves and 19 separate charnel features were recorded. Biographical information from the burials were very limited. A number of shroud pins were recovered along with coffin ittings such as hinges and brackets.
