A rental of 1714 describes Whorlton Moor Cottages (Alnwick Castle B/vii/2b) and another for 1756 includes East Whorlton (Alnwick Castle B/vii/5). Between 1760 and 1770 we know that a constable was appointed for East and West Whorlton (Syon House K/i/5). On a plan of 1710 the house is shown as Mr Auston's House and the pasture land as Mr Auston's Farm. Shown on a plan of 1767 as Whorlton Moor House. Shown as Low Whorlton on the tithe map of 1847.

Low Whorlton disppeared by 1898 but Robson's other two farms flourished and were rebuilt as Whorlton Grange (HER 1933).
