Deserted Medieval Villages of Kepwick & East Errington.
Depopulated village at Kepwick in Cocklaw. 'Foundations of ancient buildings' may be traced in the field east of the present farm. Keepwick was a vill in the regality of Hexham. The Priory of Hexham built a tithe barn there in the 13th century. Seven taxpayers recorded there in the 1296 Lay Subsidy. Plundered by the Scots in the late 14th century. Described as a hamlet in 1538. A survey of 1548 valued the vill at only half the amount it had been worth before the Scottish raids of 1408-23. There were still open fields in Keepwick in 1632. Only two houses were recorded there in the Hearth Tax of 1666. Today only one farm steading and three cottages remain.

The shrunken medieval village of East Errington was first recorded in the late 13th century, and in the early 15th century the Scots attacked it. This destruction badly affected the village and it was probably nearly deserted by the mid 18th century.
