Cold Rowley

[Preshous]

 Cold Rowley does not appear on the 1894-1899, and later maps at http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm only Rowley.

That makes it even more curious if the book was published in 1916 then why does Cold Rowley appear in the publication??. One to ponder over.

The maps are Ordnance Survey maps and they had their own rules about what place names to show. Cold Rowley is shown on the 1878 One inch O.S. map. In "Durham Places in the Mid-Nineteenth Century" produced by Durham County Record Office, Cold Rowley is not listed but Cold Rowley Station is.

Anyway the question was what parish was Rowley/Cold Rowley in  and it was in the parish Muggleswick until 27th July 1863, and from the 28th July 1863 in the parish of Castleside St. John. Rowley, Esh was in the parish of Esh St. Michael. Parts of this parish became part of these parishes: Hamsteels St. John the Baptist (1873); Langley Park All Saints (c. 1888); Ushaw Moor St. Luke (1914)

Purely as a point of interest.

Rowley railway station was dismantled and re-erected as it was in its heighday in Beamish Open Air Museum.

There is a photo of the station at http://freespace.virgin.net/l.carter/bmshrway.htm

Thank you.

I have a better photograph which I took myself at Beamish and an old photograph of the delabitated station whilst still at Rowley.

The last name was Brown.  I found all the children baptised in Esh and stated they were born "Rowley"  Later my Elizabeth Brown married a William Guest and the children were baptised in Houghton said Elizabeth nee Brown was a native of Cold Rowley.  I think they lived in the area of Wall Nook or at least later.  Was there a Rowley Wall Nook?  The head of the family was an Isaac Brown and he married Martha Holmes in St. Margaret's Durham City.
