Ponteland
Ponteland is a village situated in Northumberland near Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The name means island in the Pont (the river which flows through the village), as the area previously consisted of a small piece of solid ground around St. Mary's church and the old bridge, surrounded by marshland. This marshland is now drained, with housing built on top of it. The Pont river joins the Blyth river further downstream. The old village has been greatly enlarged by the development of the residential area of Darras Hall. It is home to many of the region's footballers and CEOs, and is part of the North Easts's only safe Conservative parliamentary seat.
== Landmarks ==
Ponteland is notable for a ruined pele tower, its bridge, and two churches: St. Mary's and St. Matthew's. St. Mary's churchyard includes the Grade II listed 18th-century tombstones of Matthew Forster and William Turnbull.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-238834-forster-and-turnbull-headstones-approxim )〕
Ponteland previously boasted a small castle or tower house, which was largely destroyed by the Scottish army under the Earl of Douglas, the day before the Battle of Otterburn. The remains were incorporated into the building now occupied by the Blackbird Inn, which is rumoured to contain an old tunnel connecting it to St. Mary's church. The tunnel is supposedly bricked up behind the fireplace in The Tunnel Room.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Blackbird Inn )〕
