Killingworth Village is located in the south east part of Killingworth. The village and surrounding area was an important industrial area during the 18th and 19th centuries, with several local collieries, quarries, a clay pit, sawmill, brick works and a tile works. The village is designated conservation area.

  • The village belonged to the barony of Roger de Merlay III in 1242
  • The Newcastle Races wer held on Killingworth Moor during the 17th century.
  • In 1793 Killingworth Moor was enclosed by the construction of West Lane, Great Lime Road and Killingworth Road.
  • The village grew, including new homes built for the wealthy mine owners and businessmen who were moving to the area; including Killingworth House (1732) and Killingworth Hall (rebuilt 1765).
  • In 1865 Killingworth separated from Longbenton to become its own distinct ecclesiastical parish; St. John the Evangelist Church was established in 1869.
