Haughton
Haughton is located by the River North Tyne, a mile north of Humshaugh. In medieval times there was a village at Haughton, but this was removed when the grounds of Haughton Castle were laid out in the early 19th century.[1] Wester Hall was built near the castle in 1732. Today there are only a few dwellings in addition to Haughton Castle and Wester Hall. Today, Haughton is part of Humshaugh Civil Parish. Historically, Haughton township waspart of the ancient Parish of Simonside.
