1832– 1885 | |
Seats | two |
Created from | Northumberland |
Replaced by |
Berwick-upon-Tweed Hexham Wansbeck |
North Northumberland (formally the "Northern Division of Northumberland") was a county constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was represented by two Members of Parliament (MPs), elected by the bloc vote system.
The area was created by the Great Reform Act of 1832 by the splitting of Northumberland constituency into Northern and Southern divisions.
It was abolished by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885, when Northumberland was divided into four single member divisions: Berwick-upon-Tweed, Hexham, Tyneside and Wansbeck.
Further to the completion of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the seat will be re-established for the 2024 general election. [1] It will comprise the (to be abolished) constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed, together with the town of Morpeth, transferred from the (to be abolished) Wansbeck seat.
1832–1885: The Wards of Bamborough, Coquetdale, Glendale and Morpeth, and the Berwick Bounds. [2] [3]
Further to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, enacted by the Parliamentary Constituencies Order 2023, from the 2024 general election, the re-established constituency will be composed of the following electoral divisions of the County of Northumberland (as they existed on 1 December 2020):
Alnwick; Amble; Amble West with Warkworth; Bamburgh; Berwick East; Berwick North; Berwick West with Ord; Druridge Bay; Longhoughton; Lynemouth; Morpeth Kirkhill; Morpeth North; Morpeth Stobhill; Norham and Islandshires; Pegswood; Rothbury; Shilbottle; Wooler. [4]
The seat will comprise virtually the whole of the (to be abolished) constituency of Berwick-upon-Tweed, plus the Pegswood and the three Morpeth divisions from the (to be abolished) constituency of Wansbeck.
