Originally part of the barony of Baliol, Healey was given over to the Knights Templars in the 1260s (hence the area sometimes referred to as Temple Healey). With the suppression of the Templars the land passed to the monarch in 1308 and then shortly after to the Knight Hospitallars. At the dissolution the land returned to the monarch. By the early 1600s the area was held by the Sanderson family. In 1816 the land was sold to Robert Ormston of Newcastle. His son, also called Robert, took down the remains of the peel house and built Healey Hall. {{Cite web|title=THE HALL, Healey - 1252746 {{!}} Historic England|url=https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1252746|access-date=2021-07-12|website=historicengland.org.uk|language=en}}{{Cite book|last=Bateson|first=Edward|title=A history of Northumberland|year=1902|pages=169-176}}
