Whittingham is a village and civil parish in Northumberland, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Aln, roughly east of its source at Alnham and west of Alnwick. The thirteenth/fourteenth century pele tower, Whittingham Tower, was converted into almshouses in 1845 and is now in private ownership. == History == The village name is thought to derive from Anglo-Saxon times, meaning 'the meeting place of Hwita's people'. The double ford at the west of the village has led some historians to suggest this is the location of 'Twyford' mentioned in the writings of the Venerable Bede. == Governance == Whittingham is in the parliamentary constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Whittingham, Northumberland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
