In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described East Chevington like this:
CHEVINGTON, two townships and a chapelry in Warkworth parish, Northumberland. The townships are designated East and West; and they lie on the North-eastern railway, between Widdrington and Acklington stations, 5½ miles SSW of Warkworth. Acres, 2, 225, and 1,804. Real property, £ 6, 999; of which £ 1, 363 are in mines. ...
Pop., 651 and 161. Houses, 121 and 32. The chapelry was constituted in 1862; and is of somewhat less extent than the townships. Post town, Widdrington, under Morpeth. Pop., 635. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Durham. Value, £350. Patron, the Bishop of Durham.
