Hartburn, Northumberland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hartburn is a village in Northumberland, in England. It is situated approximately 10 km (6 miles) to the west of Morpeth.
The village church is the Parish Church of St. Andrew, a Grade I listed building, pre-Norman with some medieval alterations. Marks carved into the door post by the Knights Templar, who occupied the church in the 13th Century, are still visible.
To the north of the village lies Hartburn Glebe, an area of woodland alongside the river Hart Burn currently in the care of the Woodland Trust [1]. A grotto, also known as Hartburn Glebe, was constructed by an 18th Century Vicar of Hartburn (Dr. John Sharpe) as a changing area for ladies wishing to bathe in the river.
