Local History: Brinkburn and Hesleyhurst

  • Description

    "The parish of Brinkburn lies in central Northumberland and is divided by the River Coquet.

The name `Brinkburn' probably means `Brynca's burn, burh or spring', or `the burn, burh or spring beneath the brink or hill'. And, to digress a little, Brinkburn is said by one tradition to be the burial place of the Northumbrian fairies....."
