Ordley (Hexhamshire Low Quarter; Hexhamshire and District)
The hamlet of Ordley, described in 1663 as 'a large towne', has dwindled to a couple of small grey-slated farmhouses and a few cottages, also a small school-house. The teacher's house adjoining the school has a moulded doorway. Some orchards and closes show traces of foundations. (1)
Insufficient remains exist to merit survey action. Most old banks etc are incorporated in the present published detail. (2)
Area NY 94785941. Traces of depopulation, in the form of earth and stone steadings and garths, may be seen among the cottages at Ordley. The present buildings show no evidence of great antiquity, and the doorway in question, is relatively insignificant. The small school is no longer in use. (3)
