Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Embleton village in the English county of Northumberland is about half a mile from the bay that carries its name. The sandy beach is backed by dunes where a variety of flowers bloom: bluebells, cowslips, burnet roses and, to give it its common name, bloody cranesbill, amongst others. Dunstanburgh Castle stands at the southern end of Embleton Bay. Close by, to the south, is the fishing village of Craster.
Robert de Emeldon, Lord Treasurer of Ireland, was born in Embleton towards the close of the thirteenth century.
Embleton has a main street with one shop. There is a small green with the village pump on it, out of use now but at one time the source of the water supply. Embleton has an 18-hole golf course which opened in 1900 and was updated in 1922.
Close by the church is Embleton Tower, a pele tower which was, until 1974, the vicarage.
The village hall, the Creighton Memorial Hall, is said to be the largest in the county and is named after Mandell Creighton, who was vicar, 1875–1884, and later became Bishop of London.
One road is named after the Embleton-born W. T. Stead, a journalist and social campaigner who lost his life on the ill-fated Titanic.
