My current research leads me to a family that, for many decades in the 18th Century, were tenant farmers at Laverick Hall Farm. Does anyone know when the farm house that still stands today was actually built?

Can't say exactly, but it appears on this 1857 map (near the top, middle)

Modified to add:
The earliest mention (I can see) in newspapers is in the Newcastle Courant, 24 December 1825 "Mark Marshall, Laverick Hall Farm" .
Also mentioned in 1847, Mr James Gledson occupied Laverick Hall Farm for 32 years, so at least since 1815.

Historic England just says "LateC18 with alterations"

There is also a Laverock Hall near Blyth... In Scotland at least a laverock is a lark

Hi maddys52 - thank you for replying. The Laverick Hall that you have referred to is actually in County Durham. The one that I am interested in is in Northumberland, just south east of Blyth - that is why I posted on the Northumberland section. Your reference to the Newcastle Courant entries is correct, thank you.
Hi Ian - thank you for replying. I have various extracts from old maps including the one you have posted. I wasn't aware that in Scotland a Laverock is a lark. This explains why Armstrong's map of 1769 shows the farm as Lark Hall. (I also Googled laverock and found that it is also a northern English dialect word for a lark).
-
My apologies Allan. :-[ I had both maps open on different tabs and must have pasted the wrong one! And then got carried away with the wrong one. I was surprised there were two Laverock Halls. Though now I know where the name comes from, maybe it's not so unusual as I thought.

Anyway, you already had the map. Though it's always fun to look at old maps. :)

Hi Maddys52 - have always enjoyed looking at OS maps and older ones where applicable. Like most drivers, I have had sat nav in my last 5 or 6 cars but I still use maps of the paper variety !! Only resorting to using sat nav when I'm driving in a large town or city that I don't know.

If i remember right Laverick Hall farm was, or is on the Links road between Blyth and Seaton Sluice.

That view is coming from Seaton Sluice.
I could be wrong.

Hi TriciaK
Thanks for your reply. The farm that you have come up with is actually called Gloucester Lodge Farm. Laverock Hall Farm is inland from the Newsham area of Blyth on the A192 road (Laverock Hall Road), right beside the roundabout that the A192 crosses.

Laverock in Scots, a lark! ;D
Skoosh.
-
Yes, I remember now, Gloucester Lodge.
-
Spelt many ways but Laverock / Laverick HALL is a poetical reference to Heaven, the Sky.
So says the Scots Etymology online site
-
Chambers Scots Dictionary = the Lark.
Skoosh.

See here, Laverock hall Farm, cheers

One of the best web sites I've seen, plenty of photos of life down on the farm
but this one shows Laverick and variations as a Family Surname

I get my wild bird seed from Laverock Hall farm at the top of the road of the same name - Laverock Hall Road, which runs down to South Beach, Blyth. The farm is on the roundabout junction of the A1061 and A192 roads.

Allan
My research also leads me here. The current family are related and inter-related to me through the Hogg and Bennett families. Our ancestors were there on Stickley Farm in the 18th century.

Hi,
My interest in Laverock Hall Farm was that I was assisting someone in Australia who was researching his family who famed there in the 18th Century.
-
So would they be connected to the same families? Thanks for your reply.
-
I have now seen the PM that you sent. I do not recognise the surname that you mentioned.

With the surname that you were helping with, there are 3 mentions on the North East Inheritance Database:
Thomas ROWELL, yeoman, of Laverick Hall in the county of Northumberland [Horton, Northumberland]
Date of probate: 15 November 1743
John ROWELL, yeoman, of Laverick Hall in the chapelry of Horton in the county of Northumberland [Horton, Northumberland]
Date of probate: 1776
James ROWELL, yeoman, of Lavericks Hall in the chapelry of Matfen town and county of Newcastle upon Tyne [Matfen, Northumberland]
Date of probate: 3 December 1808
This may be information that you already have covered, and may be some of the people you refer to.

Thank you --- yes I found these when I was researching. :)

I'm working on the Rowell family from my late father in law, Dr Henry Snowden Rowell. It seems that the relevant hall is certainly Laverock Hall, now Laverock Hall Farm, south west of Blyth at a roundabout between the A192 and A1061. Laverick Hall, south of Hebburn is a more substantial structure.
My only (unconfirmed) Laverock reference is Joseph Rowell, 1716-1776, who married his second wife Elizabeth Forster at Horton by Blyth and died 7 February 1776 Laverock Hall, Blyth.

Dear All who are interested in the Rowell family ...
I have come across them obliquely via my 3xgreat-aunt Mary Rouse who married George Rowell (1767-1834) of Laverock Hall, Blythe ... He (and his family successors) were successful jewellers, watch makers in Oxford from 1797. For more information see the links below - hope they are of interest/use.
