The Ancient market town of Rothbury, on the River Coquet can trace its origins back to c.1100. In the surrounding hills there is evidence of much earlier Bronze Age settlements, hill forts and cup and ring marks. Today all that remains of pre-conquest times is a carved Saxon cross which forms part of a pedestal of the font in the Parish Church. http://www.aboutbritain.com/towns/rothbury.asp
