Description
"Plenmeller with Whitfield parish lies in south Northumberland, in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the boundary with Cumbria. Much of the parish is a high moorland plateau dropping to the valley of the West Allen on the east side of the parish. Beneath this plateau lie the mineral resources of the North Pennine orefield the workings of which have left their mark across the parish. ......The oldest settlements in the parish date to medieval times, with villages and hamlets at Whitfield and Ouston. Most were founded in the 12th or 13th century but the reason for their decline is unknown. Few traces of medieval buildings have survived; the Church of St John was built in the 18th century on the site of a 12th century church....:" -
