Washington History Society

Washington or Weshington
the Capital of the Northeast
Over a thousand leagues of sea
Rich in promise of things to be
From a Durham Village
the seed was blown
And in far Virginian field was sown
Little seed of a mighty tree

A Wonderful history of what was once a
small village in County Durham,
which I hope will be of interest to
older and newer residents of
Washington New Town

Sir Harold Jeffreys
Washingtons Forgotten Scientist

George Washington's Family Tree
