BARMOOR, a township in the parish of LOWICK,
eastern division of GLENDALE ward, county of NORTHUMBERLAND,
7 miles (N. by E.) from Wooler. The
population is returned with the parish. In 1417> the
Lords Marchers assembled here, at the head of a force
amounting to one hundred thousand men, against the
Scots, who, on hearing of their approach, retreated
within their own territory. The English army encamped
in the vicinity prior to the battle of Flodden,
on the night after which the English general slept at
Barmoor wood. A fair was formerly held at Cross Hills,
between this place and Lowick.
