Lyham
The hamlets of Old Lyham, North Lyham, South Lyham, and West Lyham are located by Lyham Moor in Northumberland, about 3 miles south-west of Belford and 5 miles north-east of Wooler. Old Lyham was the site of a more substantial medieval village, which was first recorded in written records from 1296. The village had shrunk by the mid 18th century. New Cottages were built at North Lyham and South Lyham in the early 19th century, at which time and more people moved away from Old Lyham.[1] The settlements formed a township in the ancient Parish of Chatton.
