It was anciently a borough, the manor of which was given by King John to Robert, the son of Roger de Clavering, Baron of Warkworth. John, the last Lord Clavering, granted the reversion of it to the Crown, when Edward 111 gave it to Henry, Lord Percy, from whom it descended to the Duke of Northumberland. | ||||
