| Malton or Mantle Wall | Malton or Mantle Walls continued | was the mansion of the Bishops in the immediate vicinity of their chapel. The place is within the Barony of Nether Ancrum, and was indoubtedly a part of the estate of the church of Glasgow, and included in the grant to Lennox and afterwards to Roxburghe. In addition to what is stated in regard to the buildings which once existed here it may be noticed that I have information from old persons who were told by their parents that in their youth a high gable and in it a beautiful window, stood next to the tower. The last portion of the walls fell in 1837 and the Plough has gone over the whole building. Scarcely an old Dike or house in the neighbourhood but has been in part built out of these remains. The town of Ancrum was burned by Dacre in 1513. |
