Haven't found anything so far about the Warkworth guns but there is a reference in the newspapers to Alnmouth.

Morpeth Herald, 10 September 1920:

"The German howitzers recently accepted by the Alnmouth Parish Council as war trophies and which were to have been fixed shortly upon a cement base in the village, were removed with great enthusiasm last Friday night by the "lads of the village." One of the guns now lies on the Howle Kilne, one on the foreshore near the rocks, and another smaller gun has been run into the Aln."
