Laverick Hall Farm - Northumberland, on the south east side of Blyth
« on: Monday 06 April 20 11:26 BST (UK) »
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.

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.
https://www.google.com/maps/@55.0994515,-1.4962987,3a,75y,359.21h,107.31t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s4a_UStcUSjTMmqqClV4e7w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
That view is coming from Seaton Sluice.
I could be wrong.
Knott - Northumberland; Yorkshire (?Bridlington.)
Fenwick, Johnston - Northumberland.
Dixon; Hutchinson - York.
Shaw - ? Glasgow

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.
