Sharperton
Sharperton is a hamlet in Northumberland situated by the River Coquet. It is located about 6 miles west of Rothbury, a mile and a half south-east of Harbottle, and half a mile north of Holystone. Sharperton was the site of a medieval village - documented as having 14 taxpayers in 1296, and described as having two short rows of dwellings in 1632.[1] There was also a 16th century bastle (fortified farmhouse) here[2]; "The Bastle House" (guest accommodation) in modern Shaperton is said to be built from the remains of this fortified dwelling dating back to 1568. Historically, Shaperton had been a township in the ancient parish of Allenton.[3] Then from 1866, Sharperton was a civil parish in its own right, until 1955, when it became part of the Civil Parish of Harbottle.
