Commemorative stone, Dore village
In 829 A.D. King Ecgbert of Wessex may have been offered "submission and peace" by the Northumbrians of King Eanred, and unified England. Other records suggest Northumbria was laid waste, culprits unclear and it has also been suggested Eanred lived until at least 840 and possibly as late as 850. See; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eanred_of_Northumbria
This stone was erected in 1968.

Commemorative monolith in Dore Village
The Dore Village Society's website has this to say:
"The importance of Dore was its position on the boundary of the Anglo Saxon kingdoms of Mercia, recently conquered by King Ecgbert of Wessex, and Northumbria, the second most powerful kingdom. At the time, Northumbria was under pressure from viking raids and unable to fight on two fronts, leading to the acceptance of Ecgbert as overlord and effectively the first king of all England. The event is commemorated on the village green by a gritstone monolith with a black granite plaque in the shape of a Saxon shield, appropriately emblazoned by a Wyvern, the war emblem of Wessex."
