Chatton is a village in Northumberland, in England. It is roughly east of Wooler. ==History== Chatton has been occupied for many centuries. There has been a church on the site since the twelfth century. There is evidence of occupation in prehistoric times: a rock overhang at nearby Ketley Crag has examples of pre-historic rock art petroglyphs, including a profusion of cup and ring marks, which have been described as "stunning". Writing in 2003, local historian Joy Palmer-Cooper described Chatton as an "'estate' village", mainly from the nineteenth century. Palmer-Cooper identified five Grade II listed buildings in Chatton: "Chatton Park House ..., Chatton Bridge, the former Chatton United Reformed Church, the Blacksmith's Shop, and Broomhouse Farmhouse." In 2013, Grade II listed building status was also awarded to the Parish Church. Nearby, though not within the main village itself, there are former tower houses such as Fowberry Tower and Hetton Hall, Grade II* listed fifteenth century tower houses later incorporated in country houses. (Both these houses are privately owned, and not open to the general public.) ==Economy== The village has amenities which include a pub (the Percy Arms) and village shop. ==References== ==Further reading== ==External links== Northumberland Communities (Accessed: 6 November 2008) The Percy Arms, Chatton (Accessed: 4 June 2018)
