Church of St Thomas at Harelaw
Harelaw is a little former mining village near Stanley. The church was built in 1840, probably because of expanding population working in the coal industry. It is by G Jackson, in the Early English style.

Rosedale Manor, Harelaw
This fine old house isn't actually a manor; it was built in 1840 as the vicarage for the village of Harelaw. It looks a very grand vicarage for a little village, but in those days Harelaw was a more important place than it is today. It was originally part of the Township of Kyo, which dates from the early middle ages. Many of the surrounding villages didn't exist then; they date only from the 18th or 19th centuries and the start of the coalmining industry.

Catchgate
Catchgate is a former 'pit village' of County Durham which has all but merged with adjacent villages to form a larger built-up area. The road sign naming the settlement, (typical of a certain style in the county), is attached to a piece of rock carved in the form of a gate with a catch.
