Fenham Fenham Estate Map on sheets A small village, consisting
Fenham Mr Thomas Mathison 11.8 & of a neat farmhouse, & out
Fenham Mr John Mathison 12.5 offices, a few scattered
Fenham Mr John Black cottages, an Inn and an
excellent Corn Mill –
It is situated on the sea
shore opposite to, and about
3 miles west of "Holy Island"
and about 5 1/2 miles north-
-west of "Belford".
It is the property of John
Joliffe Tufnell Esqr.
In an enclosure on the south
side of the village, there are
the remains of ancient buil-
-dings – Still visable, and some
of the inhabitants affirm that
a Castle stood here, but I
could get nothing authentic
respecting it, and as I have
seen history is silent on the
subject. (The prominent portions
are shown on trace)
