In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Broomridge like this:
BROOMRIDGE, a hamlet in Ford parish, Northumberland; 6 miles N by W of Wooler. This place, in common with Brinkburn, is thought to be the Brunanburch where Athelstane, in 938, defeated the Scots and the Danes; and Haltwell sweire, about ½ a mile to the south, was the scene of Earl Bothwell's defeat, in 1558, by Sir Henry Percy.
