Lime kilns is a group of historic lime-working structures located in Northumberland, England. The kilns represent the industrial exploitation of local limestone resources, a practice that became increasingly significant from the medieval period onwards but expanded considerably during the post-medieval era as demand for lime grew for agricultural improvement, building mortar, and industrial processes. The surviving structures reflect the technological approaches to lime-burning that were characteristic of Early Modern and later periods, with the physical remains demonstrating the scale and organisation of lime production in the region. These monuments are evidence of the long-standing importance of lime-working to the local economy and landscape management of Northumberland.
