HORDEN, an estate on the coast of Durham; 1½ mile SE of Easington. It belonged to the Marmadukes; and passed to the Claytons and the Conyerses. Horden Hall stands on the edge of Thorpe dene; is a small but interesting Tudor edifice, of about 1600; and has a projecting porch, a fine oak staircase, and a richly sculptured manthe piece. Horden Point is a small headland, 4 miles S by E of Seaham-Harbour.
