This list of the parishes of Northumberland is derived from Mannix's "History of Northumberland", published in 1855. The descriptions, which the links connect to, have largely been transcribed word for word, retaining old-fashioned spellings and idiom. Changes to the text, for example interpolations from other parts of the book, or omissions from the text, e.g. long lists of charities, are noted at the end of each description. Comments on the text from myself are indicated by superscript numerals. Internal references (e.g. "see page 65") have usually been omitted or replaced with links. Any footnotes (indicated by * or † for example), are from the original text.

In the original directory, each parish section includes a list of the prominent persons residing there, generally confined to farmers, business people, and the gentry. I do not intend to transcribe these in the short term, but may do so at a later date.
