A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of North Collingham from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "COLLINGHAM (North), a village, a parish, and a [registration] sub-district in Newark district, Notts. The village stands on an affluent of the river Trent, near the Midland railway, 5½ miles NNE of Newark; and has a station on the railway and a post office under Newark, both of the name of Collingham. The parish comprises 1,820 acres. Real property: £6,230. Popopulation: 1,010. Houses: 228. The property is much subdivided. The manor belonged to Peterborough abbey. A number of the inhabitants are stocking-makers. The living is a vicarage in the diocese of Lincoln. Value: £300. Patrons: the Dean and Chapter of Peterborough. The church was restored in 1860. There are Baptist and Wesleyan chapels, an endowed school, and charities £21. Dr. [John] Blow, the musician, was a native."
North Collingham was abolished in 1970 and, with the neighbouring parish of South Collingham, became the parish of Collingham. The villages of North and South Collingham have long been contiguous.
