bishop auckland

Bishop Auckland is a market town in County Durham in England. It is most notable for the Bishops Palace, residence of the Bishop of Durham, and for its Town Hall which is a Grade I listed building. The River Gaunless runs through the town. It is a tributary of the River Wear and was given its name by Norsemen in whose tongue it means useless. The adjacent town of West Auckland is notable for having been home to the first team to win the Football World Cup. Its team of local coal miners won the cup in the Easter of 1909, defeating the mighty Juventus in the final. The cup itself resides in West Auckland working mens' club. The nearby village of Escomb is home to one of the oldest Saxon churches in England.
