History

Hollinghill was historically a township in the ancient parish of Rothbury, in 1866, the legal definition of 'parish' was changed to be the areas used for administering the poor laws, and so Hollinghill became a civil parish. In 1894 Hollinghill became part of Rothbury Rural District, on 1 April 1955 the parishes of Fallowlees, Greenleighton and Harwood were abolished and merged with Hollinghill. In 1974 Hollinghill became part of Alnwick non-metropolitan district. In 2009 it became part of the unitary authority area of Northumberland when the six districts of Northumberland were merged into one.
