Prendwick is a hamlet by Prendwick Burn in Northumberland, located about 12 miles west of Alnwick and a mile north of Alnham. Some of the farm buildings at Prendwick date from the 19th century, including a smithy. There are earthwork remains of a deserted Medieval village, just to the east of Prendwick[1]. There is documentary evidence of a pele tower nearby - Prendwick was raided by the Scots in 1533 and 1543.[2] Historically, Prendwick was in the ancient parish of Alnham.
