1. Histoire

Vers 1806, Charles William Bigge, un banquier prospère de Newcastle, achète un domaine de près de 3000 acres à Longhorsley, qui appartient à la famille du comte de Carlisle depuis le XIIe siècle. En 1813, il construit une maison de maître sur le domaine. Il engage son ami, Charles Monck, un architecte amateur avec un vif intérêt pour le style néo-grec, pour concevoir la nouvelle maison avec l'aide de l'architecte alors nouvellement qualifié John Dobson (architecte). Il nomme la nouvelle maison d'après un ruisseau adjacent. Des problèmes financiers poussent ensuite ses descendants à vendre le domaine et le manoir, qui sont vendus en 1861 à HM Ames pour 72 500 £. Par la suite, la maison abrite les familles Liddell, Ames et Adamson jusqu'en 1963. En 1978, il est vendu à une société qui la transforme en hôtel.

Brinkburn Mill

Brinkburn Mill is a water mill located near Rothbury, in Northumberland. It once formed part of the precincts of Brinkburn Priory and was constructed in around 1800 on the site of a former medieval mill. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the priory, and its mill, were owned by Fenwicks of Northumberland until 1792, when the priory was sold to Joseph Hetherington. It was inherited by his niece and her husband, Major Richard Hodgson, in 1809, and the mill appears to have been rebuilt, along with Brinkburn House, shortly thereafter. The mill appears in a painting by J. M. W. Turner in about 1830, depicted as tumble-down building with a thatched roof. By 1860 the mill had been extended and re-roofed, and partly restyled to appear more attractive as viewed from the house. By 1896 the northern part of the mill had been turned into a small cottage, and by 1920 the mill itself had fallen out of use. The water wheel was used to power an electric generator for a while in the 1930s, before the building fell empty for a number of years. The Landmark Trust bought the mill in 1990 and undertook a full restoration so that it is available to rent as holiday accommodation.

Brinkburn Priory

Brinkburn Priory is a former monastery built, starting in the 12th century, on a bend of the River Coquet, about 4 miles (6 km) east of Rothbury, Northumberland, England. The priory church survived the dissolution of the monasteries because it was also a parish church. After decline in the post-dissolution centuries the church was restored in the 19th century. It is a grade I listed building in the care of English Heritage. Little survives of the other monastic structures, on the site of which a manor house, just south of the church, now stands.
