"The ancient town of Chester-le-Street, whose name causes the mind to revert to the Roman and Saxon periods of our history, is pleasantly situated in a valley to the west of the river Wear, about six miles north of Durham city, nine miles west-south-west from Sunderland, eight miles south from Newcastle, and 263 miles north-north-west from London.
According to one strand of historical records it is claimed that in AD 882 after around seven years of wandering the North, the carriers of St Cuthbert’s coffin were granted land at what is now called Chester-le-Street by a Viking king called Guthred.
