Documentary Evidence
Tynemouth was one of the ten manors belonging to the priory. Though it is known that it had its demesne in common, had its own mills, and a pasture separate from the nearby manors, it is nowhere stated where it was located, or of what it consisted. Barbara Harbottle has suggested that the extensive farm buildings shown, on a 16th century plan, to lie within the priory precinct in the north-east part of the headland may represent the manor.
