In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Bolton like this:
BOLTON, a township in Edlingham parish, Northumberland; on the river Alne, 4 miles NW of Alnwick. Acres, 2,048. Pop., 151. Houses, 31. The Earl of Surrey mustered his forces here before the battle of Flodden. An hospital was founded here, before 1225, by Robert de Roos; and became the property of the Collingwoods. Some remains of antiquity have been found. The township forms a curacy annexed to the vicarage of Edlingham.
