To the south of St John's Church in Edlingham is the probable site of the deserted medieval village of Edlingham. The villa of Edlingham was first recorded in AD 737, and was one of four vills granted to Lindisfarne by King Ceowulf of Northumbria. Edlingham was part of the barony of Beanley. Edlingham Newtown documented from the mid-13th century, with 7 taxpayers recorded in 1296 and 9 taxpayers in 1336.[1] Ploughing and drainage works in 1977 revealed substantial masonry structures at the south west end of the site. There is also evidence of late medieval ridge and furrow. The site is a Scheduled Monument (legally protected).
