Warenford
Warenford is a village by the Waren Burn in Northumberland, just over 3 miles south of Belford and 10 miles north-west of Alnwick. The village of Warenford has been settled since medieval times, with documentary references from 1296 onwards.[1] As well as dwellings, a chapel and mill, medieval Warenford had St John the Baptist's located just outside the village, later used as a hermitage.[2] The village name suggests a ford for crossing the Waren Burn, prior to the building of Warenford Bridge in the late 18th or early 19th century. This bridge carried the old A1 road through Warenford until the A1 was re-routed to the west of the village in the 1970s. Warenford is in the civil parish of Adderstone and Lucker. Close by, to the west, are Twizell House and Twizell.
