FEATHERSTONEHAUGH

This is a very long surname which fools many who try to pronounce every syllable. It should be pronounced Fanshaw. The surname derives from a place called Featherstonehaugh near Haltwhistle in Northumberland. If we take the name to pieces it means the meadow near the feather shaped stone. One famous owner of this seventeen letter surname was Albany Featherstonehaugh, a sixteenth century High Sheriff of Northumberland who was murdered by a band of notorious Tynedale thieves called the Ridleys and Thirlwalls. The murder is commemorated in a ballad written by the Victorian historian of County Durham Robert Surtees who wrote - Hoot awa' lads, hoot awa', Ha' ye heard how the Ridleys and Thirlwalls and a', had set upon Albany Featherstonehaugh and taken his life at the Deadmanshaw. There was Williemontswick and Hardriding Dick and Hughie o' Hawden and Will o' the wa' I canno tell a' I canno tell a', there was many a mair that the Devil may knaw - The verse fooled Sir Walter Scott who thought it was a genuine ancient ballad. The Thirlwall family mentioned in the ballad were also of local origin. They originated from Thirlwall on Hadrian's Wall, where Picts are said to have thirled or destoyed the Roman defences. This surname is also spelt Thirlwell.

In Reply to: the meaning of "Featherston" by JA Shoji of 432
The name Featherston/Featherstone originated in England in Northumberland near the Scottish border around the early 1200s. Helias Featherstonehaugh is our earliest known ancestor, and he established upright stones, some say three uprights with a stone across the top, hence the name Feuderstone at which the people of the manor gathered to conduct their business. Later the Featherstone Castle was built in the valley or haugh below, thus the name Featherstonehaugh. Featherstone Castle still stands in its original location and still has part of the original castle. It went out of the Featherstone family in the 1700s, I think. It is privately owned now and is operated as a youth hostel for groups. You can learn more of the history from the Featherstone Society website and see pictures of the castle.
