Cartington

Cartington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Thropton, in Northumberland, England. It is about 11 miles south west of Alnwick, and about 2 miles north west of Rothbury. In 2019 it had an adult population of 95, after having returned a population of 97 in 2001.
Although there is reason to suppose that the history of Cartington can be traced on the strength of its place-name to the Early Middle Ages, Cartington is not named until the Pipe Roll dated 1233 as Kertindon, a holding of the King's Forester, Ralph Fitz-Main. This family remained significant in the township, but increasingly land within it was held by another family, called the de Beaumains, who in time changed their name to Cartington, and eventually took over the manor here. The Cartington family remained influential until the death of John de Cartington in 1494, after which it passed through marriage to Sir Edward Radcliffe of Derwentwater. In 1601 it transferred as the dowry of Mary Radcliffe on her marriage to Roger Widdrington.
