Harehope
Harehope is a hamlet in Northumberland located about 7 miles north-west of Alnwick, and just under a mile north-west of the village of Eglingham. Today the settlement includes Harehope Farm and a few associated cottages, together with the nearby Harehope Hall. In medieval times there was a village located here and a leper colony was documented here in the 13th century.[1,2] The remains of a millstone quary can also be seen at Harehope.
