Fallodon (Newton-by-the-Sea)
(NU 205235) Deserted medieval village at Falloden (Fallodon). (Nothing visible on available aerial photographs (RAF 1946)). (1)
Fallodon now consists of widely dispersed farms and any 'village' was probably non-nucleated. (2)
Falloden was a member of the barony of Alnwick which was held by Simon de Lucker in 1242. In 1296 there were four taxpayers. Late 16th and 17th centuries it was owned by the Lords of Rock, but in 18th century it became property of the Greys of Howick. Armstrong's map of 1769 shows a mansion of Colonel Grey in a wooded park and a farm to the west with the name 'Pinch Me Near'. (3)
