Ratchwood, Northumberland


Ratchwood is located about half a mile south-east of Warenford in Northumberland. It is thought to have been the location of a medieval settlement[1] and in the mid-19th century, was recorded as a township in the ancient parish of Bambrugh. However, there is no longer a settlement here; modern OS maps show "Ratchwood (ruin)" and "Rachwood Strip"; the latter being a modest strip of woodland.

RATCHWOOD, a township, in the parish of Bambrough, union of Belford, N. division of Bambrough ward and of Northumberland, 4½ miles (S.E. by S.) from the town of Belford; containing 19 inhabitants. It is situated at a short distance east of the road from Belford to Alnwick.
