ETAL, or Hothal, a village and a chapelry in Ford parish, Northumberland. The village stands on the river Till, 5½ miles ESE of Cornhill r. station, and 9 NNW of Wooler; has a post office under Coldstream; presents a pleasant appearance; and attracts strangers by its vicinity to angling-grounds and famous battlefields. At the west end of it are a gate-house and tower of Etal Castle, -built in 1341 by Robert de Manners, and taken in 1513 by the Scots; and near the east end is Etal Hall, formerly the seat of the Carrs of Glendale, but now the property of the Earl of Glasgow. A Presbyterian church is at the village; and a beautiful chapel, built in 1856, by Lady A. Fitzclarence, in memorial of her husband and child, is near the Hall. The chapelry is connected with the latter edifice, and is a p. curacy in the diocese of Durham; but no statistics of it have been returned.
