Corbridge history
Roman fort and town
Coria was the most northerly town in the Roman Empire, lying at the junction of Stanegate and Dere Street. The first fort was established c. AD 85, although there was a slightly earlier base nearby at Beaufront Red House. The best-known finds from the site include the stone Corbridge Lion and the Corbridge Hoard of armour and sundry other items.
Buildings
The Church of St Andrew’s is thought to have been consecrated in 676. The entrance to the Church is through glass doors given by Rowan Atkinson (known for Blackadder and Mr Bean) The Vicar’s Pele is to be found in the south-east corner of the churchyard.
Border warfare
Corbridge suffered from border warfare which was prevalent between 1300 and 1700. Raids were commonplace and livestock was brought into the town at night. A bridge over the Tyne was built in the 13th century, but this original has not survived. The present bridge, an impressive stone structure with seven arches, was erected in 1674.
