Sunderland: Life And Death In A Northern Town

Based in Sunderland this channel will explore the history of this place.

The people as well as the physical stuff.

Now a city, once a town.

It will also cover other places across the North East of England when I'm on my travels.

Yesterday I visited St Thomas at Stanhope in Weardale in Co Durham. A lovely histotic church. I didnt have time to do a video but took photo's. Some great epitaphs but sadly a large section of the churchyard is overgrown.
