Welcome to Sockburn

Sockburn is a small village located in the northern part of Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Tees and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Sockburn is a peaceful and quiet place, perfect for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The village has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings, including the Sockburn Hall, which dates back to the 18th century.

One of the main attractions of Sockburn is the Sockburn Worm, a legendary creature that is said to have terrorized the village in the past. According to the legend, the worm was a giant serpent that lived in the River Tees and would come out at night to attack the villagers. The worm was eventually defeated by a brave knight who used a sword to cut it into pieces. Today, the legend of the Sockburn Worm is still celebrated in the village, with an annual festival held in its honor.

Another popular attraction in Sockburn is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a beautiful example of Norman architecture and is home to several historic artifacts, including a 14th-century font and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is also known for its beautiful stained glass windows, which depict scenes from the Bible and local history. Overall, Sockburn is a charming village that is steeped in history and is well worth a visit for anyone who loves the countryside and wants to learn more about the rich heritage of Yorkshire.
