Légende

Warkworth, 1881. 'The little town of Warkworth has nothing of importance to show; but the bridge, of three stone arches, over the Coquet river, was formerly defended by a tower at its south end, and adorned with a pillar displaying the Percy arms...The distinction between a town and a village, in an old historical country like England, with so many valid legal and traditional institutions of ancient date, depends not simply on the number of houses or people. It is no matter how many hundred folk inhabit this small collection of dwellings. Warkworth is a market town, a corporate borough, with a proper municipality, as good as another'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
