Graves and war memorial at Aycliffe
Aycliffe, is named as Aycliffe Village on OS maps, presumably to distinguish it from the large new town at nearby Newton Aycliffe. The church of St. Andrew lies to the south of the village and has a large surrounding cemetery; the graves seen here are at the east end of the building.
The churchyard has fragments of two Saxon Crosses. These are supposed to commemorate Synods which were held at Aycliffe in 782AD and 789AD. [Murray's Handbook:1890]
