History


The name 'Easington' means "Farm/settlement at or called Yesing", Yesing meaning "the gushing one", a stream-name.[5] Easington is a deserted medieval village; the village existed in 1296 but by the 18th century it was only 2 farms.[6] Easington was formerly a township in the parish of Belford;[7] in 1866 Easington became a civil parish in its own right. On 1 April 1955 Easington Grange, Outchester and Spindlestone parishes were merged with Easington.[8]

In February 2020 it was decided to abolish the parish of Easington and transfer the land into that of Belford;[9] on 1 April 2021 the parish was abolished.[10]
