The Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Seaham.
This old Anglo-Saxon church has roots thought to date back to the 7th century.
The church is described by historians as being one of the earliest Anglo-Saxon Churches in existence.
The earliest mention of the area is in a land grant made by King Oswy in 658, then by Witmer in 710, who gives land to the church. Later in 933 King Athelstane, a grandson of King Alfred, renews the lands to the church.
Recent archaeological digs showed that extensive Christian burials took place in the large field to the north of the present church. The remains were carbon dated to about 700 A.D
