Horton is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Blyth, in Northumberland, England, about 2 miles (3 km) west of Blyth, and south of the River Blyth. Historically a chapelry of Woodhorn,[1] it became part of Blyth Urban District in 1912, and in 1920 it was abolished, when it was combined with Bebside, Cowpen, and Newsham and South Blyth to form a single parish for the district.[2] In 1911 the parish had a population of 2546.[3]
