Holywell


Holywell in Northumberland is a village located South East of Seaton Delaval. The village is situated by Seaton Burn, which flows through Holywell Dean out to the North Sea at Seaton Sluice. Historically, Holywell was a township in the ancient parish of Earsdon. Today, Holywell forms part of Seaton Valley Civil Parish.

HOLYWELL, a township, in the parish of Earsdon, union of Tynemouth, E. division of Castle ward, S. division of Northumberland, 5 miles (N.N.W.) from North Shields; containing 1164 inhabitants. It derives its name from St. Mary's Well; and was anciently held of the Balliols by the family of Delaval, who had property here in 1435. The village is on the road between Earsdon and Whitridge. The well was destroyed in 1822, by the opening of a quarry.
