In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described New Heaton like this:
HEATON (NEW), a hamlet on the N border of Northumberland; near the rivers Tweed and Till and the Northeastern railway, 2 miles ENE of Cornhill. Heaton Castle here, now a ruined square fortalice, belonged, in the time of Edward I., to William de Eton; passed to the Greys, and to Earl Tankerville; and was besieged in vain, in 1513, by the Scots, on their way to Flodden.
New Heaton is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about New Heaton itself, go to Statistics.
