Dewley


Dewley was a Medieval settlement, first documented in 1296, having 4 tax-payers. In 1622 Cuthbert Heron was recorded as having "a house and a close called Dewly"[1]. The exact location of the meieval settlement of Dewley is unknown, but may have been at the present Dewley Farm, the former East Dewley (house), or a cluster of buildings labelled as Dewley on the OS map of 1898 (the site of which was destroyed by the construction of the A69).[2] The latter site, possibly being associated with Bewley pits / colliery of the 18th & 19th century. Whellan's 1855 directory of Northumberland lists Timothy Moore as boot and shoe maker in Dewley (two entries), under the parish of Newburn[3].
