Statement of Interest

Architect possibly James Burn of Haddington (suggested

by McWilliam) or possibly Robert Brown who produced a

similarly classical facade in the same materials at

Lady's Field, Whitekirk in 1837 (listed separately).

Tynefield was long the property of the Hunter family who

produced a variety of popular wheat, "Hunter's", grown

for quality and productivity. In 19th century, gate

lodges stood to S (evident on maps of 1840 and 1854) now

demolished.
