Background
History
North of the River Tees was not recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish church is dedicated to St John the Baptist and there has been a place of worship on the site since the twelfth century. Bishop Skirlaw of Durham built a stone bridge, Yarm Bridge, across the Tees in 1400 which still stands. An iron replacement was built in 1805, but it fell down in 1806.
