See also:John See also:Hodgson (1779–1845), the historian of See also:Northumberland, in a See also:short memoir published in 1831, held that he was See also:born in 1685, at Pinkie See also:House, in the See also:parish of Inveresk, Midlothian, and that his See also:father was a Northumberland See also:Nonconformist, who had migrated to See also:Scotland, but returned to See also:England soon after the Revolution of 1688

Hinde, in the Archaeologia Aeliana (Feb

1865), held that he was a native of See also:Newcastle-on-See also:Tyne, the son of See also:Charles See also:Horsley, a member of the Tailors' See also:Company of that See also:town
.
He was educated at Newcastle, and at See also:Edinburgh University, where he graduated M.A. on the 29th of See also:April 1701
.
There is See also:evidence that he " was settled in See also:Morpeth as a Presbyterian See also:minister as See also:early as 1709." Hodgson, however, thought that up to 1721, at which See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time he was residing at See also:Widdrington, " he had not received ordination, but preached as a licentiate." Even if he was ordained then, his stay at the latter See also:place was probably prolonged beyond that date; for he communicated to the Philosophical Transactions (xxxii

328) notes on the rainfall there in the years 1722 and 1723
.
Hinde shows that during these years " he certainly followed r. See also:secular employment as See also:agent to the See also:York Buildings Company, who had contracted to See also:purchase and were then in See also:possession of the Widdrington estates." At Morpeth Horsley opened a private school
.
Respect for his See also:character and abilities attracted pupils irrespective of religious connexion, among them See also:Newton Ogle, afterwards See also:dean of See also:Westminster
.
He gave lectures on See also:mechanics and See also:hydrostatics in Morpeth, See also:Alnwick and Newcastle, and was elected F.R.S. on the 23rd of April 1730
.
It is as an archaeologist that Horsley is now known
.
His See also:great See also:work, Britannia See also:Romana, or the See also:Roman Antiquities of See also:Britain (See also:London, 1732), one of the scarcest and most valuable of its class, contains the result of patient labour
