In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Queens Cave like this:
QUEEN'S CAVE, a cave in the S of Northumberland; in Deepden ravine, 2½ miles S of Hexham. It was the hiding-place of Queen Margaret and her son Prince Edward, for several days in 1464, after the battle of Hexham.
Queens Cave is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Queens Cave itself, go to Statistics.
