Denwick

DENWICK, a township, in the parish and union of Alnwick, S. division of Bambrough ward, N. division of Northumberland, 1½ mile (E. by N.) from Alnwick; containing 210 inhabitants. It is pleasantly situated at a short distance north-east of the river Aln. Here is a quarry of freestone of close texture and durable quality. The late Duke of Northumberland erected a handsome arch, over which a private road passes into a field called White Cross Howl, where persons dying of the plague were buried. The impropriate tithes have been commuted for £168.

Transcribed from A Topographical Dictionary of England, by Samuel Lewis, seventh edition, published 1858.
