In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Horndean like this:
Horndean, a village and an ancient parish of SE Berwickshire. The village, standing within 5 furlongs of the left bank of the river Tweed, 7½ miles NNE of Coldstream, and 2¾ N of Norham, is an ancient place, which shared in important events connected with the wars of the succession, and now has a U.P. church containing 450 sittings. The parish, at the time of the Reformation, was united with Upsetlington to form the parish of Ladykirk.
