What is recorded here

Edgerston is a medieval castle village four miles north of the Anglo-Scottish border, where Rutherfurd families lived from 1448 until Oliver owners sold the estate in 1980. Its house grew through Thomas Rutherfurd’s 1695 building, John Rutherfurd’s 1793 wings and William Rutherfurd-Oliver’s 1840 tower, while a peel tower on the hill above defended the place against the Kerrs and other feuding families. The village still keeps life through its 1838 church, former school and forge, though children now travel to Jedburgh for learning.
