Est mansio quaedam secretior, nemore raro et vallo circumdata, non longe ab Hagustaldensi ecclesia, id est, unius ferme milliarii et dimidii spatio interfluente Tino amne separata, habens clymeterium sancti Michaelis archangeli, in qua vir Dei saepius ubi opportunitas adridebat temporis, et maxime in quadragesima, manere cum paucis, atque orationibus ac lectioni quietus operam dare consueverat.
There was a certain dwelling-place withdrawn apart, compassed about with a scant wood and a dyke, not far from Hexham church (that is to say, not past a mile and a half, but divided with the river Tyne which runneth between them both), having an oratory and church of St. Michael the archangel, where the man of God had ofttime been used to sojourn with a few companions, as occasion and time served, and give himself in peace to prayer and study, but specially in Lent.
