Healeyfield

Healeyfield is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England.

First documented in the Boldon Book as Heleie, “Alain de Chilton, holds Heley, as is contained in his charter, for Cornforth...”.

[2] The village is also listed in Bishops Hatfield's survey (1381) as Heley, "...being held by John de Chilton".

[4][5] As part of bishop Hugh du Puiset's extension and protection of his demesne, agriculture was pushed in the upper reaches of the Derwent valley including grants made to Healeyfield and other villages in the area.

[12][13] The camp was established in August 1916 and the prisoners extracted ganister from a nearby quarry.
