Tudhoe

Tudhoe is a village in the civil parish of Spennymoor, in County Durham, England.

It lies just outside Spennymoor, a short distance to the west of the Great North Road.

Tudhoe lay at the centre of a network of roads: one ran to Durham by way of Sunderland Bridge and Croxdale, another to Kirk Merrington, a third to Bishop Auckland, a fourth to Whitworth and Byers Green, and a fifth across a ford to Brancepeth Castle and village on the far side of the river.

All except the Brancepeth road are shown on the 1768 map of County Durham by Thomas Jefferys.

Until the closure of the mines, the wealthy Colliery Masters took up residence in a grand mansion known as The Loggins, which stands in several acres of its own land and overlooks the area.
