Hesleyside Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house and the ancestral home of the Border reiver Charlton family about west of Bellingham, Northumberland. It is a Grade II * listed building.〔(Keys to the Past ) 〕 The Charltons have been at Hesleyside since the 14th century.〔(''A Topographical Dictionary of England'' (1848) p55-62 (Leemailing) from British History Online )〕 The present mansion, believed to be built on the site of a 14th-century pele tower, was built in 1719.〔 The grounds were laid out by Capability Brown in 1776 and the east front was remodelled by architect William Newton in 1796. Edward Charlton was created a Baronet in 1645.〔''Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of England and Ireland, Volume 1'' (1862) p207 Google Books〕 Later Charltons served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1721 and 1837, and as Deputy Lieutenant. The adjacent stable block (a Grade II listed building) incorporates a 1747 date stone〔( English Heritage; Images of England )〕 The Spur of the Charlton is a 16th-century spur located at the hall which was occasionally served to the head of the household on a platter, as an indication that food was low and it was necessary to go cattle raiding. William and Anna Charlton have inherited Hesleyside Hall, and have diversified the estate and carried out extensive conservation and upgrade work, including bed and breakfast shepherds huts in the grounds.
