Middle Newham is a deserted medieval village in Northumberland, England. The site preserves earthwork remains indicative of medieval settlement, including field systems and structural platforms that testify to occupation during the medieval period. Like many settlements in the upland regions of northern England, Middle Newham was abandoned, likely as a result of the economic pressures and social upheaval that affected rural communities in the later medieval and post-medieval periods. The surviving archaeological features provide evidence of the settlement's layout and land use patterns characteristic of medieval agrarian communities in this region.
