Access to webpages developed and managed by Richard Hird.
The domain name "Duresme" is the Norman [French] name for Durham, with "Dunelm" its Latin equivalent, and "Dunholm"  the Saxon precedent.

Note: These pages are in the process of being adjusted and transfered to this domain, so all the hotlinks below, on the webpages themselves, and pictures, may not work immediately.  Please be patient whilst any teething troubles are sorted out which I hope to do as soon as time allows.
