Low Angerton
Low Angerton is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about 6 miles west of Morpeth and 1 mile south of the village of Hartburn. It is situated on the south banks of the River Wansbeck. There are earthwork remains of a medieval settlement nearby[1]and there are remains of a bastle at Low Angerton (a Scheduled Monument).[2] The farmhouse at Low Angerton Farm dates from the 17th century, with later additions. To the east of the farm are a row of cottages and Low Angerton House, dating from the 19th century, probably by the site of an earlier Hall. Low Angerton Bridge dates from the early 20th century, replacing a ford over the river here. Nearby, to the south-west, is the former Angerton Station, which was on the Wansbeck Railway. Historically, the wider area around the settlement was Low Angerton township, within the ancient parish of Hartburn. The township became Low Angerton Civil Parish in 1866. This was abolished in 1955, after which Low Angerton became part of Hartburn Civil Parish.
