Bishopsmill School Norton
In February 2003 Tees Archaeology started the excavation of an early Christian cemetery in Norton. By the time the work had been finished over 100 skeletons had been discovered. Bishopsmill School lies just to the north-east of Norton village green in the district of Stockton-on-Tees. The school was built in the mid-1970s on land that was originally pasture belonging to Northcote Hill Farm. The size of the cemetery found suggests that it served a much wider area than Norton alone and that there must have been a settlement and a church in the immediate area, although the exact whereabouts are unknown. |
