Manorial Map

In 2018 Northumberland Archives completed the revision of the Manorial Documents Register for the pre-1974 county of Northumberland. The Register can be found on The National Archives website at Manorial Documents Register (nationalarchives.gov.uk). Part of this work was to ‘prove’ the existence of manors in Northumberland. We did this by locating specified key documents relating to each of the proven manors. In total, we were able to prove the existence of 396 manors. This map and related key show the names and situation of the proven manors. They do not show the extent and boundaries of each manor – this information is too complex to illustrate on a map. 

You can download a PDF version of the map and key here.

If you are researching a particular property or small township and need to find the name of the parish, please consult the Northumberland Farm Index, c.1860.
