Escomb
Escomb is a village on the River Wear about west of Bishop Auckland, County Durham, England. Escomb was a civil parish until 1960, when it and a number of other civil parishes in the area were dissolved. ==Parish church== Escomb Church was built in the 7th or 8th century AD〔Blair, 1977, page 158〕 when the area was part of the Anglian kingdom of Northumbria, and is regarded as "England's earliest complete church".〔Jenkins, Simon (1999), ''England's Thousand Best ChurcHes'', London, Pengin Books, ISBN 978-0-14-103930-5〕 The building includes long-and-short quoins〔 characteristic of Anglo-Saxon architecture, and re-used Roman masonry from Binchester Roman Fort.〔Blair, 1977, page 157〕 The church was used for regular parish worship until 1860 when a new parish church was completed elsewhere.〔 The church was restored in 1875–80 by R.J. Johnson, and again in 1965 by Sir Albert Richardson.
