HEYFORD, UPPER and LOWER, (Northumberland) lies on that called the Western-Water, to the N. of Bugbrook. The p. is noted for a meadow about half a m. from the Roman way called Watling-Street, where a curious chequered pavement was discovered in 1699, exceeding all ever before found in England. It consisted of little bricks or tiles, artificially tinged with white, red, yellow and blue, as smooth as polished marble, and exactly disposed in a variety of regular figures. It was about 15 foot long, and is thought to have been the burial-place of some noble Roman family, that resided at Bennavenna in the neighbourhood, now Wedon in the Street. The late D. of Powis had a seat here.
