Aycliffe Village

Aycliffe Village

Aycliffe Village is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated immediately to the south of the town of Newton Aycliffe.

St Andrews Church in Aycliffe Village dates back to Saxon times and Church Synods were held there in AD 782 and AD 789. The village has a long historical background. Also its real name is 'Aycliffe' on its own but was called a village once Newton Aycliffe was born.

The village features a church, a post office, a primary school, a hair salon and three local pubs.

The three pubs are named The County (a restaurant that has hosted Tony Blair), The Royal Telegraph Inn (once a smoky old man's pub) and The North Britton which is favoured by the village's youngsters.

The village has a very interesting history. Research is needeed here please.

Today's Aycliffe Village is a mixture of quaint old cottages, beautiful old houses with brand new extensions and quickly built shoe box new builds. On the whole, its architecture is a confused mass of 'somewhere to live'.

Aycliffe Village is also tryantly 'ruled' by Jullian Lenahan who believes that the village is his although no one really likes him.
