[en] Morpeth, Northumberland

Morpeth is a historic market town in Northumberland, North East England, lying on the River Wansbeck. Nearby towns include Ashington and Bedlington. In the 2011 census, the population of Morpeth was given as 14,017,[1] up from 13,833 in the 2001 census.[3] The earliest evidence of settlement is believed to be from the Neolithic period, and some Roman artifacts have also been found. The first written mention of the town is from 1080, when the de Merlay family was granted the barony of Morpeth. The meaning of the town's name is uncertain, but it may refer to its position on the road to Scotland and a murder which occurred on that road. The de Merlay family built two castles in the town in the late 11th century and the 13th century. The town was granted its coat of arms in 1552. By the mid 1700s it had become one of the main markets in England, having been granted a market charter in 1200,[4][5][6] but the opening of the railways in the 1800s led the market to decline. The town's history is celebrated in the annual Northumbrian Gathering.

[fr] Morpeth (Royaume-Uni)

Morpeth, depuis 1981 chef-lieu du comté de Northumberland[1],[2], est arrosée par la Wansbeck et se trouve à 2 km de l’autoroute A1. Quoiqu'une légende tenace attribue l'étymologie du toponyme à un crime[3], il est plus probable qu'il s'agisse là d'une corruption de Moorpath.
