In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Blagdon like this:
BLAGDON, a township in Stannington parish, Northumberland; near the river Blyth and the Northeastern railway, 7 miles S of Morpeth. It was held, in the time of Henry III., by John de Plessis; passed, in 1567, to the Fenwicks, and afterwards to the Whites; and now contains Blagdon Park, the seat of Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart.
Blagdon is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Blagdon itself, go to Statistics.
