Framed Print of The Hermitage, Warkworth, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The Hermitage, Warkworth, 1881. On the opposite or north bank of the river, half a mile from the Castle, is the Hermitage of Warkworth. A pleasing narrative ballad, composed in 1771 by the Right Rev. Dr. Percy, Bishop of Dromore (collector of Percy's "Reliques of Ancient English Poetry"), will perhaps come to the reader's remembrance. But the facts authentically known concerning the "Hermits of Warkworth" supply no great amount of romantic story. It is vaguely rumoured that a certain Bertram, who killed his own brother, founded and first dwelt in this hermitage as a voluntary penance for his crime. The shrine and residence having been endowed by the Percies, apparently in the fourteenth century, the architectural style and the sculpture being of that date, we have no positive record of the earlier foundation. It was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and was held by a solitary incumbent; whether priest, monk, or friar, and of what Order, seems to be uncertain. At the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. this Hermitage was extinguished, and the Earl of Northumberland took possession of its revenue, which was much larger than could have been required to maintain a single hermit'.
