Transcript:

Fawdon, above mentioned, the property of M. Bell, Esq. stands above 2 miles north from Newcastle.

Robert de Fawdon was high sheriff of Northumberland in 1307.

High Fawdon, or Fawdon Square, consists of about 70 pit-houses; and Low Fawdon of about 20 houses. They owe their rise to the coal-works.

The Methodist Sunday-school at this place is generally attended by about 200 children.

In sinking the B. pit here, a mineralized tree was found.
