Local History: Hepscott

  • Description

    "The civil parish of Hepscott is located south-east of the town of Morpeth....After the Norman invasion of 1066, the land was divided between various lords and barons. Hepscott Manor came into existence soon after this, although the medieval village of Hepscott is now a deserted medieval village. Shadfen is another settlement founded in the medieval period. It consisted of two farms in 1603 and was probably never a proper village....Like many other areas in Northumberland, Hepscott suffered from border raiding from the 12th through to the 16th century....."
