Description

Stott's House Farm was described as the "Bee Houses" by Horsley in 1732. The farm was built on the line of Hadrian's Wall (HER 199). To the north of the farm, the Roman ditch apparently formed two ponds. A watercolour by Henry Richardson 1848 in the Laing Art Gallery shows one of the ponds. Stott's House Farm was demolished in 1933.
