Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Durham The present diocese of Durham consists of the counties of Durham and Northumberland, and the parish of Alston in Cumberland. It extends from Sockburn on the Tees to Berwick-upon-Tweed, about SS miles. Its greatest width, from east to west, is about 47 miles, and its area is about 3,100 square miles. These dimensions are the result of many changes, the last of which took place so late as 1836. These will be noticed as the narrative proceeds. It is sufficient here to say that the Bishop of Durham represents the ancient bishops of Lindisfarne; and that these for a time were the only Christian prelates in the ancient Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Northumbria, which extended from the Humber to the Frith of Forth, a territory now distributed among six dioceses.
