Garmondsway

Garmondsway

Garmondsway is a small dispersed hamlet in the parish of Kelloe situated between Durham and Sedgefield.

It is notable as including substantial remains of an abandoned village including an extant ridge and furrow field system and became a scheduled monument in 1957.

It was formerly part of the extra-parochial chapelry of Garmondsway Moor due to its ownership by Sherburn Hospital. Garmondsway Moor was also a civil parish between 1866 and 1937.

King Canute (1017-1035) reportedly walked six miles barefoot from Garmondsway to Durham Cathedral on pilgrimage, gifting to the church a large estate around Staindrop and Gainford.
