The townships of East Lilburn and West Lilburn formed part of the ancient parish of Eglingham, but became separate civil parishes in their own right in 1866.

From the 1st of April 1955, Liburn Civil Parish was formed by the merger of the 3 civil parishes of East Lilburn, West Lilburn and Newtown.

In May 2003, Chatton and Chillingham Parish Councils merged with Lilburn Parish Council to form Tillside Parish Council.
