The Fitzhugh Library
Heritage Open Day: Visit the hidden gem of the Fitzhugh Library and its collection of photographs, books and documents concerning the County Palatine of Durham and the ecclesiastical parish of Romaldkirk. The Library contains over 70,000 items. The Fitzhugh Library is a charitable trust established in 1988. We aim to maintain and expand our collection of material which we make available to the public for reference and research, aided by knowledgeable volunteers.
The area covered is the old Palatinate of Durham before its 1836 dissolution, plus the ecclesiastical parish of Romaldkirk.
At present, the Library contains over twenty thousand catalogued items – books, maps and periodicals, together with about 14,000 photographs as well as some 30,000 newspaper cuttings and ephemera.
