Civil Parishes in Northumberland
Civil parishes are the lowest tier of local government in England. Most of Northumberland is parished, though some urban areas are unparished, or may come under a Town Council. Boundaries of civil parishes often change over time, however many of the parishes in Northumberland relate back to the 'ancient parishes'. There are also links to historic buildings (
) in the respective parishes. Parishes vary in size (the population numbers below are from 2011). The information below on settlements within parishes is a 'work in progress'. Hint: use the 'Search' below to find places.
