belford

Belford is a village and civil parish in Northumberland, England about halfway between Alnwick and Berwick-upon-Tweed, a few miles inland from the east coast and just off the Great North Road, the A1. It has a population of 1,055.

Belford has a church with a Norman chancel, and the Blue Bell Hotel. The 18th century Belford Hall, now residential flats, has Grade I listed building status. It achieved momentary fame in April 2000 when protests about the closure of its bank was picked up and used by the mainstream media to illustrate stories of rural decline brought about by bank branch closures.

Belford is surrounded by rich pastoral farmland, and to the west of the village is found one of the better rock climbing locations in the county, Bowden Doors.

In 2008, Belford Junior Football Club was awarded the Queen''s Award for Voluntary Service.
Belford Hall is a Grade I listed building, an 18th century mansion house.

The Manor of Belford was acquired by the Dixon family in 1726 and in 1752 Abraham Dixon built a mansion house in a Palladian style to a design by architect James Paine.
