Horton, Blyth Valley
Horton is a former civil parish in Northumberland, England about 2 miles (3 km) west of Blyth, and south of the River Blyth. Historically a chapelry of Woodhorn, it became part of Blyth Urban District in 1912, and in 1920 it was abolished, when it was combined with Bebside, Cowpen, and Newsham and South Blyth to form a single parish for the district.[1]
The place-name Horton is a common one in England. It derives from Old English horu ("dirt") and tūn ("settlement, farm, estate"), presumably meaning "farm on muddy soil".[2]
Religious sites
The church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.[3]
