Born in 1863, Howard Pease was a British writer and editor closely connected with Northumberland. Sources describe him as a landowner and magistrate, and also note that he was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.
He wrote extensively about the English-Scottish border country and Northumbrian life. His books include Borderland Studies (1893), The White-Faced Priest and Other Northumbrian Episodes (1896), Tales of Northumbria (1899), The Lord Wardens of the Marches of England and Scotland (1913), Border Ghost Stories (1919), and The History of the Northumberland (Hussars) Yeomanry, 1819-1919 (1924).
