A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Cheeseburn Grange from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "CHEESEBURN GRANGE, a township in Stamfordham parish, Northumberland; near the Roman wall, 9½ miles WNW of Newcastle. Acres: 795. Population: 75. Houses: 15. A mansion here, with a Roman Catholic chapel, belongs to the Bidell family."
Cheeseburn Grange was a township in the ancient parish of Stamfordham and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Castle Ward Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed back into the parish of Stamfordham.
