In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Horden like this:
HORDEN, an estate on the coast of Durham; 1½ mile SE of Easington. It belonged to the Marmadukes; and passed to the Claytons and the Conyerses. Horden Hall stands on the edge of Thorpe dene; is a small but interesting Tudor edifice, of about 1600; and has a projecting porch, a fine oak staircase, and a richly sculptured manthe piece. Horden Point is a small headland, 4 miles S by E of Seaham-Harbour.
Horden is now part of COUNTY DURHAM Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how COUNTY DURHAM has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Horden itself, go to Statistics.
