Hepscott, Northumberland

Flower Delivery to Hepscott with Clare Florist

The small village of Hepscott is located in Northumberland, which is a county in England. It is about two miles away from the county town of Morpeth and the River Wansbeck. The name “Hepscott” originates from the Anglo-Saxon period of English history and is a derivation of the old name “Shepherd’s Cote.” For most of Hepscott’s history, it was just a hamlet that contained few residents. It wasn’t until the 1980s that the hamlet actually expanded itself to the point where it officially became a small village. Some people think Shepherd’s Cote describes how the former hamlet used to be a shepherd’s homestead during the early part of the medieval period. Hepscott falls under the Ulgham Division of the Northumberland County Council, which is a unitary authority across the county. The village itself exists within the jurisdiction of the Northern Area Committee.

When you go to Hepscott you will find many historic buildings from the last 1500 years or so, including Hepscott Hall. This building is a pele tower built in the medieval period and it is three stories tall. The original purpose of this building was to help form a deer park. You will still find portions of the boundary wall of the deer park that flow all the way down to the Field Farm House. Nearby you will also find a blacksmith’s workshop, or smithy, that was built sometime in the 18th century.

Many residents of the village make up generations of families who have stayed in the village for centuries. In fact, the oldest resident of the village was a woman by the name of Mrs. Irene Violet Bevan who was born on January 27th, 1920. This was back when the village was still a tiny hamlet. Bevan spent her whole life in Hepscott and died on August 16th 2010 at the age of 90. She got to live through many different changes to the village. When she was born it was merely a place of farming. Then the village survived a German air bombing by the Luftwaffe during World War II. In the 1970s, Hepscott doubled in size and continued to slowly grow over the years until it became the village it is today.
