Carlisle Park, Morpeth

[6] In 2018, a statue of Emily Wilding Davison was erected in Carlisle Park, to commemorate 100 years since women were given the right to vote.

[11] The park was opened on the 11th of September 1929, by the Earl of Carlisle, after formal gardens, cottages and general landscaping were completed.

[13] The William Turner Garden, with separate aviary, was constructed with the help of a £2.1 million grant from Heritage Lottery Fund, subsequently opening in 1999.

The garden commemorates the herbalist, born in Morpeth around 1508, who produced reliable and in depth lists on British flora.

[12] Ha' Hill, in the east of the park, is the site of the former motte-and-bailey castle built by the de Merlay family in 1095.
