Welcome to Fenton

Fenton is a small village located in the county of Northumberland, England. It is situated near the River Coquet and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Bronze Age. Fenton was once a thriving agricultural community, with many farms and smallholdings in the area. Today, it is a peaceful and picturesque village, popular with tourists and walkers.

One of the main attractions in Fenton is the historic St. Mary's Church. This beautiful church dates back to the 12th century and is a fine example of Norman architecture. It features a stunning stained glass window and a rare 14th-century font. The church is still in use today and is a popular venue for weddings and other special events. Visitors can also explore the churchyard, which contains many interesting gravestones and memorials.

Another popular attraction in Fenton is the nearby Brinkburn Priory. This ruined medieval monastery is located in a secluded valley and is surrounded by beautiful woodland. It was founded in the 12th century and was home to a community of monks until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. Today, visitors can explore the ruins and learn about the history of the site. The priory is also a popular venue for concerts and other cultural events.
