Moorhouse Farm
The front part of house seemed to be built about 1900, cottages were built in the 1850s the back part of house in 1913. The farm builings go back to 1757 mentioned in Warkworth Burial Records as Amble Moor and in 1774 as Amble Moor House. Half the old buildings were demolished in 1982 including the original farm house, the blacksmiths shop and cottage (Bill Ireland) and about 2 cottages. Moorhouse was sold from Widdrington family in 1808 to Edward Werge and resold to James Dand in 1882. Ralph Dand, George and Middleton came to live here in 1939-40 from Hauxley Cottage. I have pictures of the old farm house but not sure how to send them.
