In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Pallinsburn like this:
PALLINSBURN, a place in Norham parish, Northumberland; near the river Till and Flodden field, 2¼ miles E by S of Cornhill. It was anciently called Paulinus-burn, from Paulinus, who baptized his North-umbrian converts here; and it has a post-office under Coldstream. Pallinsburn House is the seat of W. Askew, Esq.; and contains the flag borne by the Grenadierguards at Waterloo, and given to Sir Henry Askew, who commanded them on the field.
