Bolam is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Belsay in the county of Northumberland, England. The village is about north-west of Newcastle upon Tyne, near Bolam West Houses. In 1951 the civil parish had a population of 60.[1] On 1 April 1955 the parish was abolished and merged with Belsay.[2]
The Church of England parish church of St Andrew has a late Saxon west tower and is a Grade I listed building.
Shortflatt Tower, about south-west of the village, is a late 15th or early 16th century pele tower, with a 17th-century house attached, and is also Grade I listed.
Bolam is the burial place of Robert de Reymes, a wealthy Suffolk merchant, who in 1296 began the building of Aydon Castle, near Corbridge.
Bolam Lake Country Park is next to the village.
Three archaeological sites are nearby: Huckhoe Settlement, an iron Age and Romano-British defended settlement; Slate Hill Settlement, an Iron Age defended settlement; and The Poind and his Man, a Neolithic site.
