In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gibside like this:
GIBSIDE, the seat of W. Hutt, Esq., on the N border of Durham; on the river Derwent, 6 miles SW of Gateshead. It is an embattled edifice of Jacobæan character; and it contains some valuable pictures, and stands amid beautiful and picturesque grounds.
Gibside is now part of GATESHEAD District. Click here for graphs and data of how GATESHEAD has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Gibside itself, go to Statistics.
