The parish church of St Mary and St Cuthbert in Chester-le-Street, County Durham, England, is a site of significant historical and religious importance. The site has been used for worship for over 1100 years, and parts of the current building are over 950 years old. This makes it a fascinating destination for those interested in history, architecture, and religion.
The parish church of St Mary and St Cuthbert holds a unique place in the history of English literature. It was here that the oldest surviving translation of the Gospels into English was completed. This translation was carried out by Aldred between 947 and 968, making it a significant site for those interested in the history of the English language and literature.
One of the unique features of the parish church of St Mary and St Cuthbert is the anchorage that was added around 1383. This was used by six male anchorites until 1547, when it was extended. Today, this anchorage is the Ankers House Museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of these religious hermits and the history of the church.
