Hexham: Holy Island House - detail
This house once stood on a narrow strip of land between two burns, the nearer of which is now culverted - hence its name. It is Elizabethan in style, though dated 1657. The first-floor windows were once mullioned, like the ground-floor ones. Grander twelve-light windows were added in the 18th century. The ends of the huge transverse beams supporting the upper floors are very prominent.
