Ford, Northumberland

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A model estate village on the River Till, built in the late 19th century. Ford lies at the heart of the Ford & Etal Estate, once two separate estates, but joined in the early 20th century. Ford is composed of lovely workers cottages of golden stone. The village dates to the 13th century, but it was almost completely remodeled by the Marchioness of Waterford from about 1860. She built the village school in that year, and from 1862-1883 painted the interior with murals depicting Biblical scenes, using villagers as models. The school is now known as Lady Waterford Hall, and is open to the public. At nearby Etal is the 14th century fortress of Etal Castle.
