[4] Lambley used to be the site of a small convent of Benedictine Nuns, founded by Adam de Tindale and Heloise, his wife, in the 12th century.

[6] At the time of the suppression of religious houses by Henry VIII, the nunnery contained six inmates.

In 1990, an application was submitted to the County Council to open cast work 33 hectares of land (81.5 acres) by R and A Young Mining Ltd., Leadgate, Consett.

[14] The War Memorial is a cross about three metres (ten feet) in height, is located in the churchyard of the parish church of St. Mary and St. Patrick.

The village of Hartleyburn joined with Lambley in erecting the memorial which was unveiled by Colonel Sir Thomas Oliver on Saturday 21 February 1920.

The South Tynedale Railway Preservation Society plans to reopen the entire branch line to Haltwhistle from Alston.

[17] The parish church of Lambley is in the area called Harper's Town, which suffered badly at the hands of the Scots.

It has a chancel with fine stone vaulting, and three lancets in the east window with stained glass showing the Magi, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection.

Painted panels by the altar show St. Kentigern, St. Cuthbert, St. Aidan and St. Ninian, all travelling saints.
