Ebchester history

---

The parish church is dedicated to St. Ebba, being of partly Norman construction with a foundation, described as being pre-Conquest. It is thought that the church of St Ebba was originally a monastery founded about this time by Æbbe of Coldingham, the daughter of Æthelfrith, the first king of Northumbria. Much of the stone in the walls and doorway had been taken from Roman rubble of the fort of Vindomora.

Ebchester etymology

Chester derives from the Old English word for a Roman fortification. It is possible that the ‘Ebba’ element refers to Æbbe (c. 615 – 683) who was an Anglian abbess and noblewoman. She founded monasteries at Ebchester and St Abb’s Head in Scotland.
