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

"GREENS AND GLANTLEES, a township in Felton parish, Northumberland; 6 miles NE of Rothbury. Acres: 979. Population: 22. Houses: 5."

Greens and Glantlees was a township in the ancient parish of Felton and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 until 1955 it was part of Alnwick Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed into the parish of Newton on the Moor.
