"ALNHAM is a small village, near the source of the Aln river, 9 miles NNW. of Rothbury, and 13 miles W. of Alnwick. This small parish is bounded on the east by Whittingham, on the south by Allenton, on the west by Kidland, and on the north by Ingram. It is sometimes called Yarwell, and was formerly a place of consequence. The Church is dedicated to St Michael .... Alnham has evidently been an important place in the time of the ancient Britons and Romans. A little to the south is Black Chester, which was occupied by the Romans; and on a hill, a mile west of Alnham, is a semi-circular encampment, defended by two outward rampires and a deep fosse, with an inner circle of uncemented stones. The interior area is 100 yards in diameter, and shows many vestiges of buildings" [From History, Directory, and Gazetteer of the counties of Durham and Northumberland, Parson and White, 1828]
"ALNHAM, a parish in the ........ county of NORTHUMBERLAND, comprising the townships of Alnham, Prendick, Screnwood, and Unthank, ........." [Samuel Lewis Topographical Dictionary of England 1831 © Mel Lockie]
