A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Lemmington from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "LEMMINGTON, a hamlet and a township in Edlingham parish, Northumberland. The hamlet lies 5 miles WSW of Alnwick, and bears the name of Lemmington Mills.
- "The township contains also the hamlet of Battlebridge, and comprises 2,071 acres. Population: 142. Houses: 24. The manor belonged to the Fenwicks, and passed to the Pawsons."
Lemmington was a township in the ancient parish of Edlingham. It 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 back into Edlingham.
Wikipedia has a description of Lemmington Hall.
