1. Histoire

La famille Clennell occupe le manoir de Clennell depuis le XIIIe siècle. Dans une enquête de 1541, la maison-tour de Clennell est décrite comme «une petite tour de Percival Clennell», puis nouvellement réparée avec un barmkin en construction. En 1715, c'est le siège de Luke Clennell, (High Sheriff of Northumberland en 1727) et comprend une vieille tour à l'est, une double aile à l'ouest et une petite cour au sud avec une « belle passerelle ». En 1749, Philadelphia Clennell, l'héritière du domaine épouse William Wilkinson, (High Sheriff en 1758). En 1895, leur arrière-petit-fils Anthony Wilkinson agrandit considérablement la propriété en y ajoutant un grand manoir de style Tudor. Le bâtiment actuel intègre une tour pele de 1589, très remaniée.

Clennell Hall is an historic manor house, now operated as a country hotel, situated at Clennell, near Alwinton, Northumberland, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The Clennell family held the manor of Clennell from the 13th century. In a survey of 1541 the tower house at Clennell was described as 'a little tower of Percival Clennell' then newly repaired with a barmkin under construction. In 1715 it was the seat of Luke Clennell, (High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1727) and comprised an old tower on the east, a double wing at the west and a small court to the south with a 'handsome gateway'. In 1749 Philadelphia Clennell, the heiress of the estate married William Wilkinson, (High Sheriff in 1758). In 1895 their great grandson Anthony Wilkinson greatly extended the property by the addition of a large Tudor style mansion. The present building incorporates a pele tower of 1589, much altered.

Alwinton

Alwinton (previously named "Allenton" and sometimes still referred to as this) is a village and former parish in Northumberland, England. Alwinton is named after the nearby River Alwin, and means farm on the River Alwin. Alwinton lies at the head of the Coquet valley, on the edge of both the Otterburn Army Training Estate and the Northumberland National Park. The village is roughly 10 miles (16 km) from the border with Scotland, and about 18 miles (29 km) to the west of Alnwick. The neighbouring village of Harbottle and Harbottle Castle are about 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) from Alwinton. A road continues past Alwinton into the Cheviot Hills where it terminates at the ancient Roman military encampment of Chew Green. Having no shops, Alwinton's social life centres on the Rose and Thistle Inn, a public house owned by the Latchams. Regular Church of England services are offered at St. Michael and All Angels, which traditionally serves the parish of Alwinton encompassing the nearby townships of Biddlestone, Burradon, Clennell, Fairhaugh, Farnham, Linbriggs, Netherton, Peels, and Sharperton. In the early 21st century several of rural Northumberland's least populated parishes were merged into slightly larger units, and Alwinton was one example, being merged with the neighbouring Biddlestone (where from the Census 2011 the population is included).
