The Fitzhugh Library

The Fitzhugh Library, established as a charitable trust in 1990, aims to maintain and expand a collection of local materials for public reference and research, focusing on the old Palatinate of Durham and the ecclesiastical parish of Romaldkirk. Currently located in Woodleigh, the library houses over ten thousand items, including books, maps, periodicals, photographs, and newspaper cuttings, all indexed for easy access.

With a commitment to conservation, the library seeks to acquire local materials through donations and photocopying services, ensuring the preservation of valuable historical information. Its diverse collection covers topics such as history, archaeology, genealogy, mining, railways, and local ecclesiastical history, making it a vital resource for researchers and the community.
