Scrainwood is a hamlet and former civil parish 20 miles (32 km) from Morpeth, now in the parish of Alnham, in the county of Northumberland, England. In 1951 the parish had a population of 16.[1] Scrainwood Estate is 1048 acres[2] and has a shoot that specializes in partridges.[3]
The name "Scrainwood" is uncertain and may mean 'shrew-mouse wood' or 'villain wood' or it could mean 'hollow-place wood'.[4] Until 1509 Scrainwood manor was in William Vescy's barony.[5] Scrainwood is a deserted medieval village that appeared to have declined in the 15 or 16th century.[6] There are earthwork remains of at least 3 probable house platforms.[7] Names recorded include Screnwood, Scenwood, Screenwood, Skrynwood, Scranwood, Screynwood, Scrynwood and Skranwoo.[8] Scrainwood was a township in Alnham parish.[9] From 1866 Scrainwood was a civil parish in its own right until it was merged with Alnham on 1 April 1955.[10]
