• Notes

  (Research):1594, July 25. John Ingram (Engram) (Formerly a Protestant gentleman of Warwickshire) executed, according to Challoner, at "Gateshide-head," on the evidence of deeds.  I can safely say that this was the south end of the inhabited town, and not Gateshead Fell.  Ingram, having embraced the medival faith, was ejected from the college at Oxford for recusancy.  After studying both at Douay and Rome, he was made priest and sent to England.  Being apprehended on the borders of Scotland he was sent to the Tower of London, and tortured. He would not reveal the names of his entertainers, and was sent back to the North for trial.  August, 1594 The Corporation of Newcastle paid for "John Engram, four nights, 4d.; his bedding 8d,: lying in Newgate till he was tried upon: for charges at the execution of the seminary priest in Gatesyde, John Engram, 2s. 6d.: for bringing his quarters off the gibbets, 18d., and for a pannier which brought his quarters to the town, 4d."
