In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Heathery Cleugh like this:
HEATHERYCLEUGH, a village and a chapelry in Stanhope parish, Durham. The village stands near the river Wear, and in the northern vicinity of Stanhope town and r. station; and is inhabited chiefly by lead and ironstone miners. The chapelry does not appear to have definite limits; and the statistics of it are returned with the parish. Post town, Stanhope, under Darlington. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Durham. Value, £400. * Patron, the Rector of Stanhope. The church is modern.
