A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Horton Grange from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"HORTON-GRANGE, a township in Dinnington parish, Northumberland; 6½ miles S of Morpeth. Acres: 1,222. Population: 85. Houses: 16."

Horton Grange was a township in the ancient parish of Dinnington and became a separate civil parish in 1866. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed back into the parish of Dinnington.
