Walbottle is a village in theNewcastle upon Tyne district, in the county ofTyne and Wear, England. It is west ofNewcastle upon Tyne.

History

[edit]

The village name, recorded in 1176 as "Walbotl", is derived from the Old Englishbotl (building) onHadrian's Wall. There are a number of Northumbrian villages which are suffixed "-bottle".

Bede, in hisEcclesiastical History of the English People, refers to a royal estate calledAd Murum near the Roman Wall where, in 653 AD, the King of the Middle Angles, Peada, and the King of the East Saxons, Sigeberht, were both baptised as Christians by Bishop Finan, having been persuaded to do so by King Oswy of Northumbria. Historians have identifiedAd Murum as a possible reference to Walbottle.[1]

Ann Potter, the mother ofLord Armstrong, the famous industrialist, was born at Walbottle Hall in 1780 and lived there until 1801.
