In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Plessey like this:
PLESSEY, a ville in Stannington parish, Northumberland; on the river Blyth and the North eastern railway, 5 miles S S E of Morpeth. It has a station on the railway; and it figures in many ancient deeds and records. P. Hall was formerly the seat of the Plesseyfamily, but is now a farm-house; and P. Mill was connected with St. Bartholomew's monastery in Newcastle.
