Visit Whittingham and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Whittingham, Northumberland. This inviting village is divided by the River Am and connected by a fine stone arch for motorists and a pretty footbridge for pedestrians. It was, in olden times, the location of a famous fair. On one side of the village is St Bartholomew's Church, where in 1840 an Anglo-Saxon tower was destroyed to make way for one in the Gothic fashion. It has some surviving interior Norman and l3th-century features. On the opposite side of the Am is a peel-tower dating from the 15th century. Its battlemented top overlooks a new housing estate. Unused now, the tower belonged to Lord Ravensworth of Eslington and existed as early as 1415. In 1845 the tower long used by villagers for refuge “in times of rapine and insecurity” was converted by Lady Ravensworth into an almshouse. There Henry Ogle, inventor of the reaping machine, was born in 1765. He died in Alnwick workhouse in 1848. Attractive stone houses and shops enclose a small tree-shaded green. Callaly Castle is only 2 miles away.
