Bolton deserted Medieval Village (Hedgeley)
Nothing remains of the deserted medieval village of Bolton. The village was part of the Barony of Wark-on-Tweed, which means that the villagers would have originally paid taxes to the lord of the manor there. Bolton must have existed before 1225, when a leper hospital was built nearby and the village started to pay taxes to the hospital instead.
