Wolviston

The village has several businesses, including a florist, saddlery, international consultancy firm, riding school and post office.

[2] Wolviston can be traced back to before the Norman Conquest (1066), with name changes that appear to be related to Saxon times.

[3][4] Wolviston is a community with a cricket and a Wearside League football team, a guides association and allotment holders' club.

[5] Near to Wolviston in Wynyard is Wynyard Hall, historically the family home of the Londonderry dynasty, whose fortune came from the ownership of several collieries and a port in County Durham.

The present Wynyard Hall was completed in 1848 and many royal visitors were entertained there over the following hundred years.
