Election of Parish Councillors for Boulmer May 2025
Welcome to Longhoughton
Longhoughton is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Northumberland
The village of Longhoughton is a very ancient village - the fine Grade 1 listed church of St Peter and St Paul dates back to Saxon times. In the 16th Century the settlement was recorded as 'a very long towne' with 13 or 14 small holdings at the north end of the village (now called North End) and the same number to the south (now called South End) - some of the dellings were occupied by fishermen. Throughout the seasons the fishermen would help out the farmers at harvest time and the farmers reciprocated down at Boulmer. The smuggling of liquor through the outlet of Boulmer village from the secret inland Northumbrian stills was a profitable business in the 18th Century - legend has it that contraband was stored in Longhoughton church tower with the full knowledge of the vicar!
