Pelton Civil Parish


In the mid-19th century the Pelton district was part of Parish of Chester-le-Street, incorporating Pelton, Urpeth, Ouston, and parts of Edmondsley.[1] The population of the area grew rapidly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in association with coal mining, including new colliery villages. Today the Civil Parish of Pelton covers Pelton, Pelton Lane Ends, Newfield, Perkinsville, Grange Villa and parts of West Pelton and High Handenhold.[2]
