''History of Corbridge and Its Antiquities: With a Concise History of Dilston Hall and Its Associations'' is a book written by Robert Forster and published in 1881. The book provides a comprehensive account of the history of Corbridge, a small town in Northumberland, England, and its surrounding areas, as well as the history of Dilston Hall, a historic country house located nearby. The book begins with an overview of the geography and geology of the area, followed by a detailed history of Corbridge, from its Roman origins to the present day. Forster covers the town’s important landmarks, such as the medieval bridge and the church of St Andrew, and also discusses the town’s role in the English Civil War and its subsequent restoration.The second part of the book focuses on Dilston Hall, a grand country house that was once the seat of the Radclyffe family. Forster provides a concise history of the Hall’s construction and its many owners, including the infamous Jacobite rebel James Radclyffe, who was executed for his role in the 1715 Rising. Throughout the book, Forster includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help bring the history of Corbridge and Dilston Hall to life. ''History of Corbridge and Its Antiquities: With a Concise History of Dilston Hall and Its Associations'' is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and heritage of Northumberland.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
