St Bartholomew Church, Thornley Village, County Durham There are two places in County Durham called Thornley. This Thornley, in West Durham, is much smaller than the other; both have a link with coal mining, in this case a history as long ago as 1569. The village itself has an even longer history, the earliest reference to Thornley is in a land grant of 1070-80. The church was built in 1838 as a simple stone building. It was almost doubled in size in 1842 and altered to give a Gothic appearance. In 1891, the tower, octagonal steeple and outer door were added. Thornley is approached by single track roads. The road into the village is marked as a cul-de-sac so is easily missed. http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=D6895

Great staff, lovely breakfast as per normal.very well situated. At first glance I thought my room was very small and ‘pokey’ without aircon at the top of the fourth floor. However I slept well so no complaints.
