The town of Washington is eight miles west of Sunderland in Tyne and Wear. Its name indicates its historic connection with the Washington family, ancestors of George Washington who became the first President of America.

Some of Washington’s earliest history was when William de Hertburn built the Old Hall in 1183. He adopted the name of the area and was then known as William de Wessyngton. In 1539 the Washington family had moved south to Northamptonshire and settled in Sulgrave Manor.

The present manor replacing the Old Hall was built of sandstone in the 17th century. However the Great Hall and some foundations were part of the older mediaeval home of the Washington family.

The original village centre has retained its historic character with assorted stone houses. The village green was where Jane Atkinson, the Washington Witch, was dunked in the village pond. President Carter visited the town in 1977 and planted a tree on the green.

The Old Smithy was built in the 1500s and was where highwayman Robert Hazlitt was arrested in 1770.

In 1885 a dug-out canoe made from an oak tree was found in the River Wear near Washington. It was estimated to be 4000 years old.

Like much of this area of Tyne and Wear, Washington was involved in coal mining. It later became a base for the chemical industry with the Washington Chemical Works being a major local employer in the 19th century. The Pattinson Industrial Estate now occupies that site.
