Background
History
The name "Callerton" means 'Calves' hill, the "Black" part distinguishes it from High and Little Callerton. Black Callerton is possibly a shrunken medieval village, although there are no indications on the ground. The earliest reference to the settlement dates from 1246. Black Callerton was formerly a township in the parish of Newburn. From 1866, Black Callerton was a civil parish in its own right until it was abolished and merged with Woolsington on 1 April 1955. In 1974 it became part of Tyne and Wear, having previously been part of Northumberland.
