  • Escomb Saxon Church
    Escomb Saxon Church The church was built around 675 AD with stone probably from the Roman Fort at Binchester. It was originally thought that the church was an offshoot of one of the local monasteries for example Whitby or Hartlepool, but this is only one of several possibilities as there are no known written records until 990 AD. Escomb is situated two miles west of Bishop Auckland in the Wear Valley. The church is one of five parishes grouped with Etherley, Hamsterley, Witton Park and Witton-le-Wear. Our church is on the national register of the Small Pilgrim Places Network. These places are small, spiritual oases, offering an atmosphere that encourages stillness, prayer and reflection for people of all faiths or none. Guides available by arrangement if required.

  • The Way of Life Route Gainford To
    Northern Saints Trails The Way of Life Gainford to Durham Introduction This guide gives directions for travelling The Way of Life from Gainford to Durham. All the Northern Saints Trails use the same waymark shown on the left. The total distance is 47 kilometres or 29 miles. I have divided the route into 4 sections between 11 and 14 kilometres. This pilgrimage route, along with the Ways of Love, Light and Learning, all lead to the shrine of St Cuthbert in Durham. This route would have been the closest to St Cuthbert’s final journey in his coffin from Ripon to Durham in 995. He had died over 300 years earlier, but the monks who carried that coffin believed that by his spirit he continued to be alive and to guide them. This is why this route is called the Way of Life. Water is a symbol of life, so it is appropriate that the route begins by a well and a river. Section 1 Gainford to West Auckland – 11km Gainford Gainford is an ancient site. There was a Saxon church here in the 8th century. The presence of St Mary’s Well on the south side of the present church facing the river is significant, because the early Christians often chose and cleansed sites formerly associated with pagan devotion, which often centred on springs or water courses. Fragments of Anglo-Saxon sculpture found inside and around the church are further evidence that an ancient Christian community existed on this site, whilst sculpture combining Northumbrian and Norse motifs reflects subsequent Scandinavian settlement in the region.

  • Escomb Church Is One of the Finest Anglo Saxon Churches in England
    Art Appreciation 2 VISIT TO ESCOMB SAXON CHURCH and AUCKLAND CASTLE Friday 2nd February How many of us have driven along the A68 and seen the sign to Escomb Saxon Church and thought I must go there? Well our group of six from Art Appreciation 2 did just that and it is well worth the detour. Escomb church is one of the finest Anglo Saxon churches in England. It was built around 675AD with stone probably taken from the nearby Roman Fort at Binchester and as you look around the church you will see markings on stones from this period. The Chancel Arch is also thought to be a reassembled Roman archway. This is a church of signs and mysteries waiting to be explored. The interpretation in the church is excellent and I recommend you go and explore it for yourself preferably on a warm and sunny day! From Escomb we drove to Bishop Auckland to visit Auckland Castle with its rich history as the home of the Princes Bishops of Durham for over 900 years. The See of Durham was created in the 9th century when King Alfred gave “all the lands from between the Wear and the Tyne to Saint Cuthbert and those who should minister his church”. The Princes Bishops became extremely wealthy and powerful and this remained virtually unchanged right up to the 19th century. The Zurburán Portraits of Jacob and the Twelve Tribes of Israel are the reason Auckland Castle was bought by Jonathan Ruffer whose love of Spanish paintings is at the heart of the restoration of Auckland Castle and its visionary transformation under the guidance of The Auckland Castle Trust.
