History

Great Burdon is a hamlet just over 3 miles (approx 5km) from Darlington. Although now considered a suburb of Darlington, it is separated from the town by the River Skerne.
The village dates back to at least the time of Henry I (1068-1135) as the village was restored to the Church of Durham by him. Following the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, the village was bequeathed to the Prior and Covenant of Durham (now the Dean and Chapter of Durham).
The village used to have, along with several farms, a working mill, a blacksmiths shop and a pub, as well as a number of cottages - surrounding the village green. Today the village is almost entirely residential properties, although there is still (at least) one working farm.
