In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Blagdon like this:
BLAGDON, a township in Stannington parish, Northumberland; near the river Blyth and the Northeastern railway, 7 miles S of Morpeth. It was held, in the time of Henry III., by John de Plessis; passed, in 1567, to the Fenwicks, and afterwards to the Whites; and now contains Blagdon Park, the seat of Sir M. W. Ridley, Bart.
