The Tower House, Hartburn

Dr John Sharpe, an 18th-century Vicar of Hartburn, built the crenellated Tower House that overlooks Hartburn Glebe. It was built as a village school, accommodation for the schoolmaster, and as a stable for the parish hearse in 1745. The north face of the house is built in an 18th-century Gothic style whilst the south face, with its stairs up the outside, resembles a large Northumbrian bastle house. Wikipedia. If you look carefully you can see a traction engine parked in the drive!

Not so Welcome to Hartburn Glebe

The gateway is padlocked so no entry. It is not apparent whether it is closed for forestry work or to clear damage from Storm Arwen.

In about 1760 a room was cut into the sandstone cliffs on the south bank of the Hart Burn. Inside were arches and a fireplace and a tunnel connected it to the stream. This is a Grade II Listed Building protected by law. Link

Working Horse used to Move Fallen Trees

There were a couple more horses and the men who were working them told us they were clearing trees that had fallen during Storm Arwen and expected to be there for a couple of years. Some footpaths were closed due to fallen and unstable trees.
