A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Eachwick from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "EACHWICK, a township in Heddon-on-the-Wall parish, Northumberland; on the river Pont, 9½ miles WNW of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Acres: 985. Population: 87. Houses: 19. It anciently bore the name of Achewic; was given, in 1140, by Robert Delavel, to Hexham abbey; and passed, through the Fenwicks and others, to the Spearmans.
Eachwick was originally a township in the ancient parish of Heddon on the Wall. From 1894 it was part of Castle Ward Rural District. It became a separate civil parish in 1866, but since 1955 has been part of the civil parish of Stamfordham.
