1420AD

A sign of things to come.

A group of Scottish Reivers barricaded themselves in the Church at Coldingham. The Prior, William Drax, either smoked them out or burned them alive (according to the politcal leanings of the historian.)

This action was condemned by the King and the Scots Parliament.

Drax fled to Durham taking the Priory's charters, where they still are.

Drax later returned to Coldingham.
