A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Thorngrafton from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "THORNGRAFTON, a township in Haltwhistle parish, Northumberland; on the Roman wall, 4¼ miles ENE of Haltwhistle. Acres: 3,103. Population: 321. Houses: 64."
Thorngrafton was a township in the ancient parish of Haltwhistle and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1974 the parish was part of Haltwhistle Rural District. In 1955 Thorngrafton was abolished as a civil parish and the area was absorbed along with Ridley by the new civil parish of Bardon Mill.
