Escomb Church

Escomb Saxon Church is one of the oldest Anglo-Saxon churches in England, located in Escomb. Founded in c.670-675, much of the stone came from the nearby Roman Fort at Binchester. On the south wall is a 7th or early 8th Century sundial, and on the north wall is a reused Roman stone with the markings "LEG VI" (Sixth Legion) set upside down.
