Brenkley is a hamlet and former civil parish about 6 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne, now in the parish of Dinnington, in the Newcastle upon Tyne district, in the county of Tyne and Wear, England. In 1951 the parish had a population of 28.[1]

History[edit]

The name "Brenkley" means 'Brynca's mound' or 'edge mound'.[2] Brenkley is possibly a shrunken medieval village, although there is no indications on the ground.[3] Brenkley is one of the possible sources of the surname Brinkley.[4] Brenkley was formerly a township in the parish of Dinnington,[5] from 1866 Brenkley was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished on 1 April 1955 and merged with Dinnington, the rest went to form Brunswick.[6] In 1974 it became part of Tyne and Wear, having previously been part of Northumberland.
