About Our Village

The village of Sadberge was once the wapentake(capital) of the Viking-settled area north of the Tees known as the Earldom of Sadberge, which stretched from Hartlepool to Teesdale. The name is of Norse origin deriving from Setberg, meaning "flat topped hill", an accurate description of the location of the village from where good views of the surrounding countryside can be obtained.
In Norman times the Earldom of Sadberge, though north of the River Tees, was not part of Durham and was not initially under the rule of Durham's Prince Bishops. Instead, it formed an outlying part of the county of Northumberland by virtue of the fact that it had been part of the old Kingdom of Northumbria.
In 1139 Northumberland was given to Scotland by England's King Stephen and the River Tees became the southern boundary of the kingdom of Scotland. This situation continued until 1157 when Northumberland was reclaimed by Henry II.
Hugh de Puiset, was largely responsible for the decline in importance of Sadberge. He added the earldom to Durham in 1189 and from then on Sadberge was ruled from Durham. Sadberge retained some independence and continued to be administered as an almost separate county until 1576. Until their abolition in 1971 the Palatine courts were a part of the "County Palatine of Durham and Sadberge".
