Westerbyers, birthplace of William Charlton in 1806
It'll never get a Blue Plaque, but adjacent to this barn is what remains of the cottage where my Great-Great-Great Grandfather was born, first child of Archibald and Mary Charlton (nee Lowes). William was a lead ore smeltor at Allendale for many years, then moved to the West End of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and became quite a prominent Primitive Methodist lay preacher in the area. He died in 1871.
