Kirkhaugh


Kirkhaugh is a distributed village and former civil parish in Northumberland, situated by the River South Tyne and located about 2½ miles north-west of Alston. The place name derives from its Kirk (old English for church) being situated on a haugh (a piece of flat alluvial land by the side of a river). Kirkhaugh was an ancient parish; Holy Paraclete Church is on the site of a Medieval place of worship. It became a civil parish in 1866, but this was abolished in 1955, with the creation of Knarsdale with Kirkhaugh Civil Parish. Kirkhaugh Station is on the South Tynedale Railway.
