In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Milbourne like this:
MILBURN and MILBURN GRANGE, two townships in Ponteland parish, Northumberland; on the river Pont, 10½ miles NW of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Acres, 1,216 and 629. Pop., 86 and 39. Houses, 16 and 7. The manor was given by Simon de Diveliston to Hexham priory; went, at the dissolution, to the Horsleys; and, with Milburn Hall, belongs now to R. Bates, Esq. Limestone and coal are found.
Milbourne is now part of NORTHUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTHUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Milbourne itself, go to Statistics.
