== History ==
The origin of the area's name is thought to have come from the title ''Gese Ford'', meaning "the ford over the Ouse", referring to a crossing over the local River Ouse or Ouseburn, but others think that it comes from the Old English ''Gosaford'', meaning "a ford where the geese dwell", and it is first recorded as ''Goseford'' in 1166. Richard Welford notes that the names of North and South Gosforth come from the north and south of the River Ouse. Gosforth is first mentioned in 1166, and thus some think the settlement developed at this time〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Newcastle upon Tyne )〕 and South Gosforth dates back past 1319, when it has been noted that the English Army retreated there from a siege on Berwick. According to the 19th century publication, ''A Topographical Dictionary of England'', the township of Gosforth was held of the crown by the Surtees family from 1100 to 1509, when it passed by marriage to Robert Brandling.
