Agents Notes The small village of Castle Eden lies to the south of Peterlee, about two and half miles from the sea. The present church of St James at Castle Eden was built in the 18th century, however, it was built on the site of an older church which was probably built c.1150 and stood until 1764. To the north of the village lies the Castle, which gives Castle Eden part of its name. The meaning of the word 'Eden' is however less clear. One suggestion is that it comes from the Celtic word for 'gushing' which was used to describe the small stream that runs through the area -alternatively it may come from the old English for 'God's Valley' due to the picturesque Castle Eden Dene. The castle was probably the site of a medieval castle, and was mentioned in a 12th century document but all that survives now is an 18th century house built by Rowland Burdon to the plans of a local architect, William Newton of Newcastle. A further insight into the history of Castle Eden depicts that the regional court once stood in and around the grounds of 'Restalrig' with notable outbuildings remaining in the grounds.
