High Coniscliffe

High Coniscliffe is a parish and village in the borough of Darlington and ceremonial county of County Durham, England. The parish includes Carlbury and Low Coniscliffe. It is part of Heighington and Coniscliffe ward, and is situated approximately 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Darlington. At the 2011 Census the population of this civil parish was 242. It is now a linear village, with most houses along the north side of the A67, but is also a doubly nucleated village as it has a village green and church on the south side of the road, and a history of a community focus at the T-junction of Ulnaby Lane and the A67, where the Methodist church and post office once were, and where a public house remains. It has always been a small village, but its history goes back to Anglo-Saxon times, and the earliest part of St Oswald's church is Norman. The Duke of Wellington pub is notable for having had a portrait of Napoleon, Wellington's defeated enemy, on its sign from 1975 to 1988.

Merrybent

Merrybent is a linear village in the civil parish of Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent in County Durham, in England. It is situated on the A67 road to the west of Darlington, a short distance to the north of the River Tees and the Teesdale Way. At the beginning of the 20th century there were hardly any buildings here, and its main feature at that time was Merrybent Nurseries with its many glasshouses. The nursery was cut through by the A1 road in the 1960s; at this point it runs on the trackbed of the old Merrybent railway. The village is now a settlement of modern housing.

Low Coniscliffe

Low Coniscliffe is a village in the civil parish of Low Coniscliffe and Merrybent, in County Durham, England. The population of the civil parish taken at the 2011 Census was 716. It is situated 3 miles (5 km) west of Darlington. Its present built-up area is confined in practice between the A1, the A67 and the Tees, but its old boundaries probably extend much further. The village contains a couple of listed buildings and the probable site of a medieval manor house. There was once a gallows in the village. A rare fungus Rhodotus palmatus was found nearby.

All Saints' Church, Manfield

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Manfield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in the 12th century, consisting of a nave and chancel. In about 1240, north and south aisles were added, and the doorway was moved to the new south wall. About 1330, the chancel was rebuilt, the nave extended one bay to the west, and a north arcade added. A tower was added in the 16th century. The church was restored between 1849 and 1855, the work including a new south porch, and the replacement of many of the windows. The church was grade II* listed in 1968. It is built in sandstone with stone slate roofs, and consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel with a north vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, stepped diagonal buttresses, a chamfered plinth, a projecting stair turret, a string course, a west window, a clock face, two-light bell openings, and an embattled parapet. The clock was installed in 1841. Inside, there is an early piscina, a sedilia, an altar rail which is probably early 18th century, and a font and pulpit in marble from about 1876. There are three wall monuments to the Witham family, some Mediaeval grave covers, and an oak chest dated 1688.
