About Durham:

The name "Durham" is derived from the Old English word "Dun" for hill and the Norse word "holme" for island. Dun Cow Lane is claimed to be one of the first streets in the ancient city, and the tale of the Dun Cow and the milkmaid also adds to the naming of this county town.

In 995 AD, a group of Lindisfarne monks carried the body of the Anglo-Saxon Saint Cuthbert. Saint Cuthbert's bier is said to have come to a rest on the hill at Warden Law when they were roaming in the north, and the monks were unable to carry it any farther, no matter how hard they tried. The Bishop of Chester-le-Street (where Saint Cuthbert had previously laid) called for a three-day holy fast and prayers in honour of the Saint. During this time, Saint Cuthbert came to one of the monks, Eadmer, and instructed him that his coffin needed to be brought to "Dun Holm."
