In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Barmoor like this:
BARMOOR, a township in Lowick parish, Northumberland: 1 mile W of Lowick, and 8 N of Wooler. Barmoor Castle here, the seat of the Sitwells, is an elegant edifice of 1802; on the site of an ancient seat of the Muschamps. Barmoor wood was the headquarters of the English general on the eve of the battle of Flodden.
Barmoor is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Barmoor itself, go to Statistics.
