They each have/had their own Parish Church and neither parish "comes under" or includes the other. If I can add a little more about this topic, which began as a series of comments about the BTs, the BTs of Bedlington - the actual original BTs, now in Durham University Library, that is, and not necessarily the computerised scans, put on line or otherwise, by the LDS - cover the period 1760 to 1858, with gaps. Those of Horton cover 1762 to 1856 with gaps. That information is taken from the National Index of Parish Registers, Vol XI, Part 1, by Charles Neat and revised by Don Mason (Society of Genealogists, 1984). The National Index also mentions what I had forgotten, that is that Horton was originally a Parochial Chapelry of Woodhorn, from which it is separated by Bedlington parish. Other Parochial Chapelries of Woodhorn, before they became fully-fledged parishes in their own right, were Widdrington and Newbiggin, both of which are adjacent to Woodhorn parish. Geoff Nicholson
