Roman

Roman fort known as Magis, Morbium or Vinovium is now located under the village green. It was sited adjacent to Dere Street at the point where the Roman road crossed the River Tees. The plain it sits on in the Tees Valley was the site of Battle of Catraeth.

Medieval

There was no permanent inhabitation in the area until the Normans arrived in the mid 11th century. The Normans came to the area in the 11th Century.

16th century onwards

There was no medieval Piercebridge parish, but there was a chapel recorded in 1546. The Battle of Piercebridge was partly fought on the bridge, when a small Royalist contingent including William Cavendish defended it against Parliamentarians led by Lord Fairfax. The 18th-century farmhouse, Piercebridge Grange, may be on the site of a monastic grange.
