Corbridge is a village in Northumberland, England, west of Newcastle and east of Hexham. Villages nearby include Halton, Acomb, Aydon and Sandhoe. Etymology Corbridge was known to the Romans as something like ''Corstopitum'' or ''Coriosopitum'', and wooden writing tablets found at the Roman fort of Vindolanda nearby suggest it was probably locally called ''Coria'' (meaning a tribal centre). According to Bethany Fox, the early attestations of the English name ''Corbridge'' "show variation between ''Cor''- and ''Col''-, as in the earliest two forms, ''Corebricg'' and ''Colebruge'', and there has been extensive debate about what its etymology may be. Some relationship with the Roman name ''Corstopitum'' seems clear, however". 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. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
