body
bishop
Durham by the monks of that foundation to Lindisfarne, when in fear of attack from William the Conqueror. They rested here with the coffin. The modern growth of the town is attributable to the valuable collieries of the neighbour -hood, and to manufactures of nails and chains. It is one of the most populous mining centres in the county. On the south
district
Bedlington (Betlingtun) and the hamlets belonging to it were bought by Cutheard, bishop
Durham , between 900 and 915, and although locally situated in the county of Northumberland became part of the county palatine of Durham over which Bishop Walcher was granted royal rights by William the Conqueror. When these rights were taken from Cuthbert Tunstall, bishop of Durham, in 1536, Bedlington among his other property lost its special
parliament in 1832 and 1844.End of Article: BEDLINGTON If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
