In the Muster Roll for Northumberland, 1538, appears the name of "Ed. Stoore, Neyther Trewyte." (Low Trewhitt, in the Parish of Rothbury.) This is the earliest note of a Story I have come across.

Extract from a MS. Census of the Parish, circa 1816:

"George Story is one of the first farmers in the Parish, and is the principal partner in the Brewery at Rothbury; he is married to a Papist, and has, besides some children grown up, and settled elsewhere, two sons at home and a daughter; a grand-daughter (Dorothy Richardson), left an orphan by the death of her father, is under his care. One of the sons and the daughter follow the religion of the mother. They have two female servants and a male; two of these are Catholics and the other a Presbyterian. There are in the house four Bibles and four Prayer Books. G. Story has a plough made of cast-iron, which weighs one stone less than the wooden ones, and costs four pounds twelve s. - Total of Persons 9, Bibles 4, Prayer Books 4."

FLOTTERTON

is a township and a hamlet now consisting of the hall and the farm servants' cottages. Early in the 18th century it consisted of several farms and ½ farms, with various tenants.
