Consultation on future of historic old town building
The Journal
|August 14, 2025
TONY HENDERSON on the discussions that are under way about a Northumberland historic treasure
-
THE future of one of the oldest buildings in a Northumberland town is up for debate.
A public consultation is currently under way on the future of the Grade I-listed Morpeth Chantry, which dates from the late 13th century.
The building is adjacent to the site of the 13th century bridge across the River Wansbeck at Morpeth.
It is home to an extensive bagpipe museum which celebrates Northumberland being the only English county with its own dedicated musical instrument the Northumbrian pipes.
A tourist information centre and craft centre and gift shop are also based in the Chantry.
The consultation is being carried out by consultancy Urban Foresight, and the appraisal will enable Northumberland County Council to select which options should be taken forward for a more detailed feasibility assessment.
