Rather an unusual surname, my mother was "in service" in the late 1920's to a Mrs Gowenlock who had Castlegate House in Warkworth. That is the house at the top of Castle Street where you go towards the castle. She took in boarders and at the time my mother was there Major Vernon Merivale was a resident, he was involved at Hauxley Colliery which was then in it's infancy.
