History

The name "Tritlington" means 'Farm/settlement connected with Tyrhtel'.[2] Tritlington was formerly a township in Hebburn parish,[3] in 1866 Tritlington became a civil parish in its own right. On 1 April 1955 Causey Park, Earsdon, Earsdon Forst and Fenrother parishes were merged with Tritlington,[4] on 9 May 1995 Tritlington was abolished and merged with West Chevington to form "Tritlington and West Chevington".[5] The parish councils were also combined on the same date, this was because West Chevington Parish Council was having difficulty in functioning due to its low population.[6]
