History


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.
