(Research):Warkworth is a village in Northumberland, England situated in a loop of the River Coquet, about 1.6 km from the Northumberland coast. It is 48 km north of Newcastle, and about 64 km south of the Scottish border. An ancient bridge of two arches crosses the river at Warkworth, with a fortified gateway on the road mounting to the well-preserved medieval castle, church and hermitage.
Warkworth Castle was originally constructed as a wooden fortress, some time after the Norman Conquest. It was later ceded to the Percy family, who held it, and resided there on and off (dependent on the state of their often stormy relationship with the royalty of the time) until the 16th century. During this period the castle was rebuilt with sandstone curtain walls and greatly reinforced. The imposing keep, overlooking the village of Warkworth was added during the late 14th century. It was refurbished, with much refaced stonework, by the Dukes of Northumberland in the late 19th century. The castle formed the backdrop for several scenes in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 2.
Anthony married Anne Smith. Anne (daughter of John Smith and Agnes Harewell) and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
