Easington County Durham Map

About Easington

Easington, a village in County Durham, carries the quiet dignity of a place that has seen much change. It lies 2.9 km north-north-west of Peterlee (from Peterlee: bearing 339°T, OS grid NZ 417 435), and is situated south of Hawthorn village. The land here, gently rolling and often touched by the soft, diffused light characteristic of the North East, speaks of an agricultural past that underpins the present. The imposing presence of the Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels, with its sturdy stone walls and spire reaching towards the sky, anchors Easington, a silent witness to generations. Though its industrial heritage, particularly coal mining, has profoundly shaped its character, the village retains a sense of community, a quiet resilience that endures. The air itself seems to hold a subtle echo of the collieries, a ghost of the toil that once defined its daily rhythm, now softened by the passage of years.
