WALLINGTON-DEMESNE, a township in that
part of the parish of HARTBURN which is in the northeastern
division of TINDALE ward, county of NORTHUMBERLAND,
1 miles (W. by S.) from Morpeth, containing
205 inhabitants.' In pulling down the remains of
Fenwick tower, in 1775, several hundred gold nobles,
of the coinage of Edward HI., were found in an open
stone chest; it is supposed that they were concealed on
the invasion of David, King of Scotland, in 1360, who
made prisoners the two sons of Sir John Fenwick, then
owner of the castle.
