Roseden

Roseden is a hamlet in Northumberland, located about 5 miles south east of Wooler. It consists of a farm and a few cottages. A tree near the farm carries a plaque commemorating a Hurricane fighter pilot who died when his plane crashed here on the 14th of January 1944.[1] Historically, Roseden had been a township in the ancient parish of Iderton. Roseden became a civil parish, following the Poor Law Amendment Act, 1866. But this was abolished in 1955, since when, Roseden has been part of Roddam Civil Parish.
