Horton is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Blyth, in Northumberland, England, about Шаблон:Convert west of Blyth, and south of the River Blyth. Historically a chapelry of Woodhorn,[1] it became part of Blyth Urban District in 1912, and on 1 April 1920 it was abolished, when it was combined with Bebside, Cowpen, and Newsham and South Blyth to form a single parish for the district.[2] In 1911 the parish had a population of 2546.[3]

The place-name Horton is a common one in England. It derives from Old English horu ("dirt") and tūn ("settlement, farm, estate"), presumably meaning "farm on muddy soil".[4]

Religious sites

The church is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.[5]
