church dedicated to St See also:Cuthbert. It is cruciform, and in See also:style mainly transitional See also:Norman. It has a central See also:tower surmounted by a See also:spire of the 14th See also:century, which necessitated the See also:building of a massive See also:- STONE

Educational establishments include an Elizabethan See also:grammar school, a training See also:college for school-mistresses (See also:British and See also:Foreign School Society), and a technical school. There is a See also:park of See also:forty-four acres. The See also:industries of Darlington are large and varied. They include worsted See also:spinning See also:mills ; collieries, ironstone mines, quarries and brickworks ; the manufacture of See also:iron and See also:steel, both in the rough and in the See also:form of finished articles, as locomotives, See also:bridge castings, See also:ships' engines, See also:gun castings and shells, &c. The parliamentary borough returns one member. The town was incorporated in 1867, and the See also:corporation consists of a See also:mayor, six aldermen and eighteen councillors.

Not See also:long after the See also:bishop and monks of Lindisfarne had settled at Durham in 995, Styr the son of Ulf gave them the See also:vill of Darlington (Dearthington, Darnington), which by 1083 had grown into importance, probably owing to its situation on the road from Watling See also:Street to the mouth of the Tees.

William of St Carileph in that See also:year changed the church to a collegiate church, and placed there certain canons whom he removed from Durham. Bishop See also:Hugh de Puiset rebuilt the church and built a See also:manor See also:house which was for many years the occasional See also:residence of the bishops of Durham. Boldon See also:Book,
dated 1183, contains the first mention of Darlington as a borough, rated at 5, while See also:half a See also:mark was due from the dyers of See also:cloth. The next See also:account of the town is in Bishop See also:Hatfield's Survey (c. 138o), which states that " Ingelram Gentill and his partners hold the borough of Derlyngton with the profits of the mills and dye houses and other profits pertaining to the borough rendering yearly four See also:score and thirteen pounds and six shillings." Darlington possesses no See also:early See also:charter, but claimed its privileges as a borough by a prescriptive right. Until the 19th century it was governed by a See also:bailiff appointed by the bishop. The mention of dyers in the Boldon Book and Hatfield's Survey probably indicates the existence of woollen manufacture. Before the 19th century Darlington was noted for the manufacture of See also:linen, worsted and See also:flax, but it owes its modern importance to the opening of the railway between Darlington and See also:Stockton on the 27th of See also:September 1825. " See also:Locomotive No. 1," the first that ever ran on a public railway, stands in See also:Bank See also:Top station, a remarkable relic of the enterprise. As See also:part of the See also:palatinate of Durham, Darlington sent no members to See also:parliament until 1862, when it was allowed to return one member. The fairs and markets in Darlington were formerly held by the bishop and were in existence as early as the filth century. According to See also:Leland, Darlington was in his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time the best market town in the bishopric with the exception of Durham. In 1664 the bishop, finding that the inhabitants of the town had set up a market " in the See also:season of the year unaccustomed," i.e. from the fortnight before See also:Christmas to Whit See also:Monday, prohibited them from continuing it. The markets and fairs were finally in 1854 See also:purchased by the See also:local authority, and now belong to the corporation.
