Sockburn

Sockburn is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Neasham, in the Darlington district, in the ceremonial county of Durham, England. It is situated at the apex of a meander of the River Tees, to the south of Darlington, known locally as the Sockburn Peninsula. Today, all that remains of the village is an early nineteenth-century mansion, a ruined church and a farmhouse built in the late eighteenth century. Sockburn is known for its links with Lindisfarne and Celtic Christianity, the discovery of Viking Age hogbacks, the Sockburn Worm folklore, and Sockburn Hall, a 19th-century country house and a Grade II listed building. The name means "Socca's fortification".
