Etymology

The name North Sunderland may be of Old English origin, [3] and differently-derived to the much larger Sunderland 60 miles to its south. The first element is sūðer, meaning "south, southern", while the second is land, "land". [3] The name means "southern-land", [3] and is analogous in its derivation to Sutherland in Scotland.

History

Historically, the inland village of North Sunderland grew significantly when the nearby coast was developed as a harbour. Houses were built, particularly in connection with the herring fishery. Community growth became concentrated around these sea-houses, eventually being recognised under the name Seahouses. [4] In practice, there is no recognisable boundary between the two.

Governance

North Sunderland and Seahouses are within the civil parish of North Sunderland and the Northumberland County Council electoral division of Bamburgh. The parliamentary constituency is Berwick-upon-Tweed, represented by Anne-Marie Trevelyan, a Conservative.
