Duddo


Duddo is a small village in Northumberland, located about seven miles south-west of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and three and a half miles from the border with Scotland. Duddo Five Stones is a Bronze Age stone circle located to the north of the village. The remains of Duddo Tower from the 16th century overlook the village, and the defences reflect the hostilities with Scotland and frequent border raids at this time. There are two former churches in Duddo, now converted for residential use; St James Church (1832), later used as a school, and All Saints' Church (1879) - both former churches are Grade II listed buildings. Duddo is also a civil parish, which covers other settlements including Felkington, Grindon, and Twizell.

Duddo is a village and civil parish in Northumberland, about southwest of Berwick on Tweed.

History

Duddo Five Stones is a stone circle to the north of the village. It is a Scheduled Monument.

Duddo Tower, south of the village, was built late in the 16th century. It is now a ruin and a Scheduled Monument. It replaced an earlier tower built in 1496.

Churches and school

The Church of England parish church of All Saints is a Gothic Revival building. It is in a Decorated Gothic style and was completed in 1879.

All Saints' church replaced the earlier parish church of St James the Great, which was designed by Ignatius Bonomi in a neo-Norman style and built in 1832. It was later converted into part of the parish school, presumably when All Saints' church was built. The school has since closed and the building is now a private house.
