Broomley and Stocksfield has been the name of the civil parish since 1866 (but it is quite often simply known as Broomley). The two main settlements are described separately in Wikipedia. (See below.)
Broomley and Stocksfield were originally townships in the ancient parish of Bywell St. Peter. They became a single civil parish in 1866, and in 1887 absorbed Apperley, Stocksfield Hall (which had been a separate township and parish and a seat of the Viscounts Allendale) and parts of Mickley. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Hexham Rural District. In 1974 rural districts were abolished and Broomley and Stocksfield became part of the Tynedale District until 2009 when Northumberland became a unitary authority.
