A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of North Dissington from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:
- "DISSINGTON (North and South), two townships in Newburn parish, Northumberland; on the river Pont, 10 miles NW by W of Newcastle-on-Tyne. Acres: 1,140 and 1,342. Populations: 76 and 63. Houses: 11 and 12. The Delavels were seated here; the Collingwoods have Dissington Hall; and Admirals Sir Ralph Delavel and Lord Collingwood were natives."
North Dissington was a township in the ancient parish of Newburn and became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1894 it was part of Castle Ward Rural District. In 1955 the civil parish was abolished and the area was absorbed into the parish of Ponteland.
