Adderstone is a village in the civil parish of Adderstone with Lucker, in Northumberland, England.

History

The name "Adderstone" means 'Eadred's farm/settlement'.^[1]

Adderstone was formerly a township in the parish of Bamburgh. From the 17th century onwards, the township exercised parish functions under the poor laws. Adderstone therefore became a separate civil parish in 1866 when the legal defintion of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws.^[2] The parish of Adderstone was abolished on 1 April 1955 to form Adderstone with Lucker.^[3] At the 1951 census (the last before the abolition of the civil parish), Adderstone had a population of 185.^[4]

Governance
