Farnham

The hamlets of Low Farnham and High Farnham are situated by the River Coquet, located about 5 miles west of Rothbury in Northumberland. Low Farnham is the site of a deserted medieval village. There was also a tower house 'Farnham Tower' first recorded in 1414, but today there are only a few visible remains of this or it's surrounding parkland.[1] Farnham tileworks and sawmill, on Greenside Bank, operated from 1879 to 1906. Amongst other things, it made pipes used by local farms to drain the clayey soils in the area.[2] Historically, Farnham and it's surrounding area, extending east to Farnham Moor, formed a township in the ancient parish of Allenton (Alwinton). From 1866 to 1951 Farnham was a civil parish in it's own right.[3] Since the 1st of April 1951 Farnham has been part of Hepple Civil Parish.
