In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Greenhead like this:
GREENHEAD, a village and a chapelry in Haltwhistle parish, Northumberland. The village stands on the Tippal burn, adjacent to the Carlisle and Newcastle railway, gear the Roman wall, 3½ miles W by N of Haltwhistle; and has a station on the railway, and a post office under Carlisle. The chapelry is annexed to the vicarage of Haltwhistle, in the diocese of Durham; but, prior to 1865, was a separate charge, of the value of £90, in the patronage of J. Hope Wallace, Esq. The church is modern.
