'''Alnwick''' is a historic town in [[Northumberland]], north-east [[England]]. Although it has Anglo-Saxon origins, it came to prominence in the middle ages as the main power base of the Percy family, Earls (later Dukes) of Northumberland; Alnwick Castle is still the family seat. Alnwick is a popular tourist centre, and boasts what is probably Britain's largest second-hand bookshop in its former railway terminus.
