Landmarks
A branch of the Roman road, Dere Street, known as the Devil's Causeway, passes close by Longframlington en route to Berwick-upon-Tweed, and the mounds visible on the Hall Hill in the angle of the Pauperhaugh and Weldon Bridge roads may be those of a Roman camp.[2]
Embleton Hall is a country manor house which was built around 1730 and is a Grade II listed building.[3]
Religious sites
The church of St Mary the Virgin dates from the late 12th century and until 1891 was a chapel of ease to Felton; since that date Longframlington has been an independent parish. The church was carefully restored in the late 19th century retaining its fine Norman chancel arch.[4] The church is identified as being dedicated to St. Laurence on maps of Longframlington shown on website Communities.Northumberland.gov.uk (Longframlington - Ordnance maps) dated 1897 and 1920.
