Local History

Durham  also known as the City of Durham, is a cathedral city and civil parish on the River Wear, County Durham, England. It is an administrative centre of the County Durham District, being a successor authority to majority area of the historic county palatine of which it was the county town.

The settlement was founded over the final resting place of St Cuthbert. Durham Cathedral was a centre of pilgrimage in medieval England while the Durham Castle has been the home of Durham University since 1832. Both built in 11th-century, the buildings were designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986. HM Prison Durham is also located close to the city centre and was built in 1816.
