Lambley, formerly known as Harper Town,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.haltwhistle.org/page92.html )〕 is a village in Northumberland, England about southwest of Haltwhistle.The village lies adjacent to the River South Tyne. The place name Lambley refers to the "pasture of lambs". Lambley used to be the site of a small convent of Benedictine Nuns, founded by Adam de Tindale and Heloise, his wife, in the 12th century. The Scots led by William Wallace devastated it in 1296 (name=Rowland/> gives 1297 ). However it was restored and one William Tynedale was ordained priest to the nunnery in about 1508 - probably not William Tyndale, the reformer, as once believed〔Parish of Alston Moor.

Nothing now remains but the bell from the nunnery which hangs in the church and a few carved stones.〔 The village lies in the Midgeholme Coalfield and there are reserves of good quality coal remaining.〔Planning application 1 August 1990 by R and A Young Mining Ltd., Leadgate, Consett to Northumberland County Council.
