GovernanceRothley is a civil parish in its own right, within the unitary authority of Northumberland. Both parish and unitary authority have responsibility for different aspects of local government. It is in the parliamentary constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The parish absorbed Fairnley, Hartington and Hartington Hall.[2] LandmarksRothley Castle {{nowrap|({{coord|55.1929|-1.9328|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=Rothley Castle}})}} is an 18th-century gothic folly built to resemble a medieval castle, situated at Rothley. It was designed in 1755 by architect Daniel Garrett for Sir Walter Blackett, owner of Wallington Hall, from where it is visible on the hillside.[3]Rothley Crags {{nowrap|({{coord|55.1926|-1.9349|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=Rothley Crags}})}}, a wild tract of country which was once Sir William Blackett's deer-park. With the mania our ancestors had for ruins, and surely there were enough in Northumberland already without building them, Sir William had some most realistic castellated ruins built on the top of the crags![3]Rothley Lake {{nowrap|({{coord|55.2067|-1.9356|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=Rothley Lake}})}} breaks the bareness of the scenery,[3] prettily bordered with trees and overlooked by a wall of rugged crags topped by Codger Fort. Rothley Lakes (divided by a road) were created for the Wallington estate by Capability Brown. Codger Fort {{nowrap|({{coord|55.2053|-1.9316|type:landmark_region:GB|display=inline|name=Codger Fort}})}} was erected by Sir Walter Blackett after the Jacobite rising of 1745, probably to demonstrate his loyalty. The fort contained six cannon and hence would have proved a serious obstacle to any invading forces. The fort was designed by Thomas Wright of Durham, and has also been interpreted as a folly like Rothley Castle to the south. Huge beeches and pines line the ascending road from the lake. [4]On the banks of a burn near the village are several rocks perforated by small holes. According to local legend, these holes were used by fairies for cooling porridge.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.neighbourhood.statistics.gov.uk/dissemination/LeadKeyFigures.do?a=7&b=11128040&c=NE61+4BG&d=16&e=62&g=6452815&i=1001x1003x1032x1004&m=0&r=0&s=1435764725294&enc=1|title=Parish population 2011|accessdate=1 July 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10327600|title=Relationships and changes Rothley Tn/CP through time|publisher=Vision of Britain|accessdate=20 June 2018}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book | last = Ridley | first = Nancy | authorlink = Nancy Ridley | title = Portrait of Northumberland | publisher = Robert Hale | date = 1966 | location = London}} 4. ^{{cite book | last = Hugill | first = Robert | authorlink = Robert Hugill (travel writer) | title = Road Guide to Northumberland and The Border | publisher = Andrew Reid & Company, Limited | date = 1931 | location = Newcastle upon Tyne, England}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Folklore, Myths and Legends of Britain|last=Ash|first=Russell|date=1973|publisher=Reader's Digest Association Limited|isbn=978-0-340-16597-3|page=351}} External links{{Commons category|Rothley, Northumberland|Rothley}}{{Northumberland-geo-stub}} 2 : Villages in Northumberland|Civil parishes in Northumberland |
