Buckton is a small village in Northumberland, North East England, located just over 5 km north of Belford.[1]
Buckton consists of a farm and a few cottages. Buckton is the site of a medieval deserted village, which was first recorded in 1560, but had shrunk in size by the mid-18th century.[2] The farmhouse dates from the 18th century and has a walled garden. The remains of a late medieval dovecote (Grade II listed) are located to the north of the farm. Buckton Burn flows close to the settlement.[3]
Thomas Gregson, second premier of Tasmania, was born in Buckton.
