Healeyfield

Healeyfield is a village and civil parish in County Durham, England. The population of the civil parish taken from the 2011 census was 1,544.^[1] It is situated to the south west of Consett.

First documented in the Boldon Book as Heleie, “Alain de Chilton, holds Heley, as is contained in his charter, for Cornforth...”.^[2] The village is also listed in Bishops Hatfield's survey (1381) as Heley, "...being held by John de Chilton".^[3] The place name probably means “the high clearing”.^[4]

Healeyfield and the surrounding area had three lead mines. Healeyfield mine, Silvertongue mine and Dean Howl mine. All disused by the 1920s. There was a smelting mill at nearby Watergate, Castleside.^[5] ^[6]

The village was the site of a prisoner of war camp during the First World War from which two prisoners escaped.^[7]^[8]
