Sewingshields

Sewingshields is a hamlet, located by Hadrian's Wall, about 4 miles north of Haydon Bridge in Northumberland. It was common for stone from the Roman wall to be re-used for building, as was the case with Sewingshields Farm, when it was constructed in the early 19th century. A section of Hadrian's Wall runs along Sewingshields Crags, including Milecastle 35 and Turret 35A (sometimes referred to as 'Grindon Turret').
