Edrom
The site of Edrom Church has been the home of a place of worship since the 1100's. A dispute between the landowner and Durham Cathedral was settled in favour of Durham and the original church is believed to date from 1147. The adjacent burial vault contains stonework from the original doorway and despite the passage of time shows fine detailed carving.
A chapel added to the main structure in 1499 still survives and is the oldest part of the church in the original position. Much of the church was rebuilt in the 1730's and again during the 1880's, this final stage of building enlarged the church and is noted on a stone mounted near the door.
