MORPETH WARD
MORPETH WARD is bounded on the north by Coquetdale Ward, on the west by Tindale Ward, on the south by Castle Ward, and Bedlingtonshire, and on the east by the German Ocean. It is divided into two divisions, East and West, comprehending eight parishes, and four parochial chapelries, and comprises an area of 98,991 statute acres. Its population in 1801, was 11,422; in 1841, 14,125; and in 1851 it had increased to 16,023 souls. This district possesses a rich and fertile soil, and is well watered by the rivers Coquet, Wansbeck, Font, and Line, and by several rivulets. The surface is generally level, but on the banks of the Coquet, the Wansbeck, and the Font, the scenery is more varied and picturesque.
