The Northumberland County Council Keys to the Past web site (www.keystothepast.info) says 'The farm at Newton may be the ancient borough of Warenmouth, which was once the port of Bamburgh. It was founded about 1250 and was big enough for large ships. The name, Warenmouth, started to fall out of use in the 14th century and became known simply as Newtown. The decay of the port begun in 1464, when the siege of Bamburgh took place. A document of the 1575 refers to it as 'Once a borough and a market town, but now decayed, and for the most part desolate.' A map linked to from that web site locates Warenmouth about a mile to the west of Bamburgh.
