HARNHAM, a township in Bolam parish, Northumberland; 8 miles SW of Morpeth. Acres, 679. Pop., 45. Houses, 12. Harnham Castle was the seat of the Babingtons, one of whom was governor of Berwick in the time of Charles II.; it was a place of great strength, situated on a height, defended by a morass, a steep glacis, and a high range of sandstone rocks; and considerable remains of it exist at the back of a modern mansion.
