Holburn


Holburn is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about 2½ miles south-east of the village of Lowick. There was a substantial settlement here during Medieval times, and a tower here was first documented in 1415, later said to be capable of holding 20 horsemen.[1] Historically, Holborn (aka Holburn) was a township in the ancient parish of Lowick. Today, Holburn forms part of Lowick Civil Parish.

HOLBORN is a township and village, the property of John Joliffe Tuffuell Esq, Essex, and was for many generations possessed by a family that bore the local name. The population of the township, in 1851, was 160 souls. THE VILLAGE of Holborn is situated at the southern extremity of the parish, two and a half miles south of Lowick. LAVERICK LAW is a hamlet in this township, two miles south of Lowick.
