Denwick is a small village in Northumberland, a mile and a half north-east of Alnwick.
History
During a time of increased prosperity for Northumberland in the 19th century a whole village was planned and built in Denwick as part of the Duke of Northumberland’s estate, although there is evidence of settlements in this area since the Bronze Age.[1]
The church at Denwick, a small chapel of ease, was built at the expense of Algernon George Percy, 6th Duke of Northumberland in 1872, and services are still held there once a month.[2] It is predated by the majority of buildings in the village[3] including Denwick House, built in 1808 and now a grade II listed building.[4]
Geography
The parish can be divided into two parts.[5] Denwick village is located within the main part, north of the River Aln, along with the majority of Hulne Park. The detached southern part of the parish extends as far south as Newton on the Moor.
Denwick Burn, a tributary of the River Aln, flows past the village to the north.
About the village
