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

"HADSTONE, a township in Warkworth parish, Northumberland; near the coast, 10 miles NNE of Morpeth. Acres: 1,165. Population: 92. Houses: 16."

Hadstone was a township in the ancient parish of Warkworth. It became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Morpeth Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed into the parish of East Chevington.
