River Wear, Durham Cathedral, the Old Cornmill

I recently took some photographs with my drone of Durham Cathedral and the River Wear. I really wanted to fly a little higher but due to the winds this wasn't possible, but today the weather was much calmer.

St Nic's: The church in the market place in Durham

I enjoyed the opportunity to take an aerial photograph of St Nic's in Durham. The original Durham market was found in Palace Green. A rather smelly and dirty place, surrounded by people who lived and worked there. Not wanting to see his guest's or his views of Durham Castle and Cathedral spoilt Bishop Flambard saw fit to move anything that got in the way. He relocated the market place to where Durham Market Place can be found today and moved the people nearby. St Nicholas (St Nic's), the church in the market place was built. According to Gavin Wakefield in his book St Nicholas' Church, Durham (2025) ,"We don't know exactly when St Nicolas' Church was built but it is most likely that it was by 1128". Known as the people's church, the folks of St Nic's served in and around the market place and continue to do so today.

Had a lovely walk and flying of my drone in Middleton-in-Teesdale today. After visiting our favourite cafe we had a short walk down to the River Tees over the Middleton Bridge which crosses over the river. Here are a few images.
