SADBERGE, a chapelry in that part of the parish
of HAUGHTON-le-SKERNE which is in the south-western
division of STOCKTON ward, county palatine of DURHAM,
4 miles (E. N. E.) from Darlington, containing
315 inhabitants. The chapel is dedicated to St. Andrew;
around the base of the hill upon which it stands are
traces of an ancient intrenchment. This was formerly
a place of great importance, and the capital of a district,
or county, of the same name, having had its gaol, sheriff,
coroner, and other civil officers. A school is supported
by small annual subscriptions. The Stockton and Darlington
railway passes in the vicinity.
