The largest house in the road leading from Hadley Green to the church was the Priory, demolished after 1953, (Footnote 76) a 16th-century building, which was given an elaborate stuccoed Gothic front c. 1800. (Footnote 77) The house belonged c. 1800 to the Revd. David Garrow, (Footnote 78 - bought house 1760) whose son, the lawyer Sir William Garrow (1760-1840), was born there. (Footnote 79) In 1971 the site was occupied by neo-Georgian houses called the Cedars and Little Pipers. Hadley Grove, lying well back from the road to the east, was a large late-18thcentury house rebuilt in the early 20th century in the neo-Georgian manner, to the designs of H. A. Welch. (Footnote 80) Beacon House, next to the church, is smaller and seems to contain parts of the building conveyed by Thomas Fletcher to the parish in 1616; (Footnote 81) it was enlarged and refronted in the 18th century, when it belonged to the Shewell family. (Footnote 82) White Lodge, on the opposite side of the road, dates from before 1711 (Footnote 83) and contains an elaborately covered early-18th-century doorcase, but has been substantially altered. (Footnote 84) Hadley Lodge, by the gate at the entrance to Hadley Common, is an 18th-century stuccoed house incorporating some earlier features, with a slate mansard roof and a porch supported on five Ionic columns.

Collinson, Sir Richard (1811-1883), admiral, was a native of Gateshead. He entered the navy in December 1823, and in 1828 served as a midshipman of the Chanticleer with Captain Forster, in a surveying voyage round the coast of South America. In 1834 he was a mate of the Medea, one of the first steamers in the navy; was promoted in 1835, and appointed on 28 Sept. to the Sulphur, surveying vessel [see Beechey, Frederick William; Belcher, Sir Edward]. During the first Chinese war Collinson was employed as surveyor and pilot in seas and rivers till then unknown; and to his skill and ability was largely due the success of the operations both in the Canton river and in the Yang-tse-kiang. After commanding for some time the Bentinck brig on this service he was employed in the exact survey of the coast of China, from Chusan to Hongkong, the results of which afterwards formed the groundwork of the ‘China Pilot.’ He died at Ealing, and was buried at the adjacent hamlet of Perivale, where a monument to his memory has been erected by subscription. He wrote 1 tidal letter.

Individual Note: Rev. John Collinson was Rector of Gateshead, Co. Durham 1810 - 1840 and Rector of Bolden 1840 until his death in 1857. He married Amelia King and had a remarkable set of children:
Henry King appears to have followed in his father's footsteps as a priest.
Frances Sybil married George Bland a/ the Archdeacon of Northumberland and Canon of Durham.
Richard joined the Royal Navy, headed an expedition to find Franklin and became an Admiral.
Thomas Bernard joined the Royal Engineers rising to the rank of Major General and while a younger man producing the first survey of Hong Kong which was also the first published contoured map ever.
John Collinson may have died soon after birth or young as no subsequent trace of him can yet be found.
Julia Cecilia become a successful children's book author afer having to support herself on the death of her husband, Thomas William Stretton. She married again, Walter Devereux Wilkins / de Winton, part of family with ancient royal connections and inheritor of Maeslough Castle, Radnor, Wales, bought by his father Walter Wilkins who'd made a fortune in India.
Margaret Bernard married Thomas James a well-to-do Magistrate and Farmer.
Harriet Charlotte married Thomas Dalton, a clergyman in 1844 and in 1876 Joseph Laycock of Low Gosforth Hall, Gosforth, Northumberland.
Charlotte married Arthur Shadwell a priest and son of Sir Lancelot Shadell a lawyer and the last Vice Chancellor of England.
Amelia/Emily appears never to have married and probably died at brother Richard's house in Ealing on the outskirts of London in 1889. Cecilia also appears not to have married and probably died at brother Richard's house in Ealing on the outskirts of London in 1903.
Octivia married Charles Stansfield Rawson, son of a land-owning family in Cumberland and Yorkshire. Two of her sons went to Queensland where they made a fortune in ranching, pioneered settlement of Mackay before returning to the UK. The State Library of Queensland has a collection of their documents, writing and sketches.
Sophia Jane married Thomas Elliot Harrison a well-known railway engineer and entreprenuer, a prime mover in the development of railways in north east England and assisted Robert Stevenson in the design of a major bridge in Newcastle still standing today (2005).
Thomasine married Henry de Winton, Vicar Of Boughrood & Archdeacon Of Brecon. It is not yet clear whether he is related to sister Julia's second husband.
In 1831-1832, during John Collinson tenure at Gateshead, there was a struggle between coal mine owners and miners lead by Thomas Hepburn over the introduction of unions.
"In May 1832 a major disturbance took place at Friar’s Goose, "The Battle of Friars Goose". As mine workers refused to work underground, 42 lead miners from Cumberland were brought in. Local miners pelted the incomers with stones and rubbish and two men were seriously injured. The miners refused both to work and to leave their cottages. Special constables were sworn in to deal with the emergency . Several families were evicted from their homes. This enraged the miners and brought in support from pitmen in Heworth and Windy Nook. Eventually the constables fled.
The Rector of Gateshead, John Collinson was unable to deal with the affray and appealed to the Mayor of Newcastle for support. Reinforcements arrived and confronted the striking mineworkers. In the conflict which followed guns were fired and five mineworkers and two policeman were injured. The town marshal from Newcastle sent for more reinforcements and also called out the military. "

Boldon
"This ancient parish is bounded on the north-west by Hedworth, on the north by Simonside in South Shields, on the east by Whitburn, on the south by Castle Town, Southwick, and Washington, and on the south-west by Washington parish. The parish contains the townships of East and West Boldon, with villages of the same name, and has an area of 4031 acres. In 1882 a part of this parish was taken to form part of the new parish of Hedworth.
"The townships of East Boldon and West Boldon are returned together for civil purposes, having a united area of 4805 acres and ratable value of £29,499.
"The village of East Boldon is very pleasantly situated on the Sunderland and Newcastle road, about four miles north-west from the former. Here are many villa residences and attractive terraces, and the district has of late years become very popular as a place of residence for the merchants and tradesmen of Sunderland and Shields.
"West Boldon Village - This is the ancient village, and maintains much of its rural aspect, being overlooked by the venerable and picturesque old church. The older portion of the village occupies a rocky eminence, commanding a fine prospect on all sides, and is remarkable for its salubrity."

Musgrave (Great) Parish
Is a small district, lying on the east side of the Eden, bounded by the parishes of Brough, Warcop, Crosby-Garret, and Kirkby-Stephen and the river Belo containing about 180 inhabitants. The village occupies a pleasant situation on an eminence, commanding a fine view of the picturesque vale, and distant two miles S.W. of Brough. The adjacent hamlets of Fleetholm, and Langrigg are about one mile north of the village. The Saint Theobald Church and rectory house is a handsome edifice, situate near the river, a little below the village and is subject to inundation, for in the great flood of 1822, the water was a yard deep in both of them. A new bridge of two arches was erected here in 1826

The Rev. Septimus Collinson, D.D., Provost of Queen College, Oxford, and Prebendary of Worcester, gave a valuable service of communion plate to this church, in 1809; and by will in 1827, left £1500 in 3 per cent. consols, for the endowment of a free school in this, his native parish, to be conducted on the Madras system. His nephews and executors, the Rev. John Collinson, then of Lamesly, and Gateshead, in the county of Durham, paid the legacy duty themselves, and also contributed £300 towards the erection of the free school and master's house, which were built in 1829, at Langrigg, where the learned doctor resided during his youth, till he was removed to the grammar school, at Appleby.

9648. Great Britain. Gateshead Perambulation Medal, 1824. It was a tradition in a few English parishes to periodically walk the boundary line, which was called a perambulation. A few, VERY RARE medals were struck for such occasions, and were given to those who participated in the ceremony. The "Monthly Chronicle of North County Lore and Legend" noted the following about this peramulation. "On Ascension day, May 27th, 1824, the Revd. John Collinson, with his churchwardens, and twenty four parishioners perambulated the ancient borough of Gabrosentium as Gateshead was called by the Romans. This was the first perambulation since 1792, and a general holiday was declared, and a great number of townspeople accompanied the procession. They were attended by two constables, with flags and two pipers. The pro cession assembled at St. Mary's church, and at 9 a.m. proceeded to the 'Blue Stone' on Tyne Bridge, where, from a ladder over the side of the bridge some descended, and plodged through the mud by the river to follow the northern boundary. The main procession headed by the pipers playing the 'Keel Row' proceeded along the northern and western boundaries to Wrekenton, where refreshments were provided. Afterwards they joined the ladies and danced to the music of an excellent band. The procession then moved along the southern and eastern boundaries to the river Tyne, at the north west corner of a strip of land called the 'Friars Goose', where the consta bles and pipers took a boat and returned to their starting point at the Blue Stone on the bridge. The perambulation ended at 4:30 p.m. and the party sat down to dinner at the Black Bull inn, Sir R. S. Hawks, Knight, being in the chair." "Gateshead Parish Boundary Token" around head of goat with two long, straight horns over shield with same symbolism / "Perambulated 27th May 1824" around "The Revd John Collinson Rector" Gateshead is located south of Newcastle. This medal was presented to the twenty-four people who participated in the perambulation Davis-Waters-18, page 302. See World Coins, 1974: 138-142. Rare. 31 mm, bronze.

1831 strike
In March, 1831, 20,000 miners gathered for a strike meeting at Black Fell (between Birtley and Gateshead) and a further large meeting was held on the Town Moor, Newcastle. The following month, many mineworkers refused to sign the annual bond which expired on 5 April. Thomas Hepburn led his members in a strike. He wanted a reduction in boys working hours from 16 hours to 12 hours a day and an abolition of the ‘Tommy shop’ system. The strike lasted until June and resulted in a small victory for the union as some concessions were made. Hepburn won praise from all sides who recognised that his personal influence had prevented rioting and violence. As a result, Hepburn became a full-time official of the Union.. However, success was short lived.
1832 strike and the battle of Friars Goose
The mine owners now had one aim – to smash unionism in the north east. In 1832, they refused to sign on union members and a new strike bega
Hepburn, always a man of peace, tried hard to maintain law and order in the major meetings at Black Fell and Boldon Colliery which followed. However, he found he was unable to prevent the violence that occurred.
In May 1832 a major disturbance took place at Friar’s Goose. As mine workers refused to work underground, 42 lead miners from Cumberland were brought in. Local miners pelted the incomers with stones and rubbish and two men were seriously injured. The miners refused both to work and to leave their cottages. Special constables were sworn in to deal with the emergency . Several families were evicted from their homes. This enraged the miners and brought in support from pitmen in Heworth and Windy Nook. Eventually the constables fled.
The Rector of Gateshead, John Collinson was unable to deal with the affray and appealed to the Mayor of Newcastle for support. Reinforcements arrived and confronted the striking mineworkers. In the conflict which followed guns were fired and five mineworkers and two policeman were injured. The town marshal from Newcastle sent for more reinforcements and also called out the military.
On 11 June 1832,Nicholas Fairless, a South Shields magistrate, was dragged from his horse and so savagely beaten that he died from his injuries. William Jobling, a pitman, was convicted and hanged and his body hung on the gibbet at Jarrow for several weeks. In July, Cuthbert Skipsey, a miner from North Shields, whilst trying to restore order, was shot by a constable.
Eventually the strike petered out. Whilst most of the miners eventually regained employment, the leaders of the strike became scapegoats and were outlawed. The Union crumbled and Thomas Hepburn was banned from the coalfield.

Joe Collinson has made a major compilation of all the data for the Upper Teesdale Collinson and their descendents, building on the work of Desmond Collinson, (both like myself Michael Collinson a part of this branch).
The listing of names from Desmond's source was slightly in conflict with those from Chas.DAVID who got
them from the headstones. I am using the latter's and the LDS data to correct the former. For instance,
Cecilia Georgina was not on the former and Harriet Charlotte is not on the latter. Thomasina was not on
the former. Margaret Bernard was on the former and the LDS but not on the latter however there is a
Margaret Bernard shown as a daughter to Thomas Bernard on the latter.
Rector of Gateshead 1810 - 1840 Rector of Boldon 1840 -1857
