Swinburn of Lamesley, co. Durham
Lamesley is a parish lying about four miles to the South of Gateshead, bounded on the north side by Low Fell, on the East by Eighton Banks, on the south by Birtley and on the west by Tanfield. It is a very rural area although the large town of Whickham is only a few miles to the north east and the more recent development of Chowdean is reached through the A1 underpass. The parish encompasses the townships of Hedley, Kibblesworth, Lamesley and Ravensworth.
The 'History, Topography and Directory of Durham' Whellan, London 1894 describes Lamesley thus: This township, which gives it's name to the parish, is rich in coal, and stone of a superior quality, well adapted for the purpose of mill and grind stones. There are several large quarries at work in this township, and coal is extensively wrought at the Ravensworth collieries.
The population in 1801 was 1705, in 1851 it was 1914 then in 1891 when the whole parish was included the number was 4927.
The main A1 ring road around Newcastle now cuts right through the parish. The River Team runs through the town close by the church of St. Andrew's (see picture) which was rebuilt in 1759. From the church yard the Angel of the North, a large metal sculpture standing beside the A1, can be clearly seen. In 2000 Lamesley is no longer a large township but a small collection of scattered dwellings. Kibblesworth, to the south and Chowdean to the north east, are now much larger towns.

| BIGGES MAIN was a small village to the south east of Newcastle, about half a mile outside Wallsend. It was named after the Bigge family who, in the 17th Century, opened a pit there around which the village grew up. The pit was abandoned in 1856 after a local dispute about drainage but was opened again a few years later. The colliery was eventually closed when floods hit the mid-Tyne area and the pits were flodded out. In its post-mining era Bigges Main was described as a pretty peaceful village surrounded by manors and farmlands. In 1910 Bigges Main was incorporated into the Borough of Wallsend. Coal was worked in the area until 1918 but after that the colliery village declined and finally Wallsend Council bought the land and a Sports Centre and Golf Course were built on it in 1961.

Notes:
*probable but not yet confirmed
(a) this may be wrong as there is another Ralph Swinburn who was buried 29 November 1733 Lamesley
**The marriage certificates says Margaret MASTERTON and father George MASTERTON but this seems to have been an error as every other reference to Margaret and her family gives the name as MASTERMAN
There is a Margaret Masterman, widow aged 56, Washer Woman born Branspeth, Durham, with two children, (Mary aged 33, married, born Hexham and Henery, aged 16 born Hexham) on the 1861 census at Henry Pit, Walker, 2 houses away from William and Margaret
