Darlington
Key points of interest in Darlington, County Durham, England. A description of the town of Darlington first appeared in writing in the early 11th century, when it was called ‘Dearthingtun’. Its name was probably originally the Anglo-Saxon ‘Deornoth ing tun’, meaning ‘man belonging to hamlet’. In other words, it was the estate belonging to Deaornoth. By Norman times, the name had changed to Derlinton (Simpson, 2009), with it being changed to Darlington still later on (Lambert, [s.d.]). QUOTATION
During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries Darlington was generally known as `Darnton'. During a visit to the town in 1603 King James of Scotland penned a verse about the place, starting with the two lines: “Darnton has a bonny, bonny church / With a broach upon the steeple” (Simpson, 2009).
