Abbeylands  Northumberland

 

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Abbeylands like this:

ABBEY-LANDS, a township in Alnwick parish, Northumberland; 2 miles NW of Alnwick. It contains the hamlets of Broomhouse, Heckly, Heckly-Farm, Heckly-Grange, and Whitehouse; and it contained anciently an Abbey of canons. Pop., 288. Houses, 52.

The location is the cluster of buildings named on the modern 1:50,000 map as Abbeylands. Although it is not so named on our earlier one inch to one mile maps, it does have that name on Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 maps of Northumberland on the old-maps.co.uk site, starting with that of 1926. Additional information about this locality is available for Alnwick
