Humshaugh (said Hums zoff) means "Hun's nook" & โฌ๏ธ demonstrates nicely the "nook" in the river bend. There is a leaze too & that has a very specific meaning - 'stinted grass pastures hained from Lady Day to Lammas for the hay crop' .๐คฃ. I'll repost my thread which explains.....
In 1987 (10 years after his more famous โHoway the Ladsโ visit to Newcastle as President), Jimmy Carter visited Northumberland, taking in both Hadrianโs Wall and a West Tyne League match at Humshaugh CC! @northumbrianahexham-courant.co.uk/news/24โฆ
Twice voted as Northumberlandโs best pub, the Crown in Humshaugh closed with immediate effect this month too. So sad.

Top-of-the-table clash today as the 2nd XI host Humshaugh 1XI! Come along and support the lads in what promises to be an exciting match with the bar open day ๐๐๐ป
It irritates me. Bellingham is pronounced Belling Jam. Some people pronounce Humshaugh as Hum Shaw when it's Hums Hoff, Ulgham is Uff Am and the worst is when people call Ponteland, Ponty Land - it's Pon Tea Land
