Glororum is a hamlet in the county of Northumberland about a mile south west of Bamburgh. The 1901 census showed a population of 33, and a hundred years later it remains a tiny place.

History

Bamburgh parish records of baptisms for 1768 show this hamlet with the name of Gloweroerum.

Prior to re-development in 2010-2012 there was a substantial farm on the crossroads. This farm has now been converted into luxury "Barn conversion" type residences including detached and terrace cottages and larger terraced houses.

To the north-east of the hamlet there is a large holiday park comprising mainly large static caravans.
