Background

History

The name "Adderstone" means 'Eadred's farm/settlement'. 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. The parish of Adderstone was abolished on 1 April 1955 to form Adderstone with Lucker. At the 1951 census (the last before the abolition of the civil parish), Adderstone had a population of 185.
