In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hutton Henry like this:
HUTTON-HENRY, a village and a township in Monk-Hesleton parish, Durham. The village stands on an eminence, near the Hartlepool railway, 2 miles SSW of Castle-Eden; and commands a large view of the surrounding country and the sea. The township contains also the hamlet of Road-Ridge. Acres, 1, 987. Real property, £2, 149; of which £194 are in railways. Pop. in 1851, 1, 067; in 1861, 392. Houses, inhabited, 87; uninhabited, 205. The depopulation was caused by the cessation of work at a coal mine. The manor belongs to F. A. Millbank, Esq. There is a Roman Catholic chapel.
