A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Fallowfield from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "FALLOWFIELD, a township in St. John Lee parish, Northumberland; near the Roman wall, 3¼ miles N of Hexham. Population: 43. Houses: 10. A rich vein of lead ore is here. Fallowfield fell commands a fine view; was quarried for the Roman wall; and has a Roman inscription on a grey stone, called the Written Rock."
Fallowfield was originally a township in the ancient parish of Lee St. John. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1955 was absorbed into the neighbouring parish of Wall.
