Church of England. Diocese of Durham.

Geographical scope and jurisdictions covered by the collection

Crayke in North Yorkshire formed a detached part of Durham diocese. Hexham and Hexhamshire, though within Northumberland, formed a detached part of York diocese. Thockrington in Northumberland (a peculiar of a canon of York Cathedral) Northallerton and Allertonshire in North Yorkshire (peculiars of the Bishop of Durham, and of the Dean and Chapter of Durham Cathedral) Howden and Howdenshire in East Yorkshire (a peculiar of the Dean and Chapter of Durham Cathedral)

In 1882, the diocese was divided. The newly created Newcastle diocese embraced the whole of the historic county of Northumberland, together with Alston and its chapelries in Cumberland. The diocese of Durham then became roughly co-terminous with the historic (pre-1974) County Durham. Several series of loose items were split at this stage, so that some pre-1882 material was transferred to Newcastle diocese (and is now at Northumberland Archives). Details are given within the detailed catalogues.
