Edmundbyers

Edmundbyers is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a few miles to the west of Consett, near Derwent Reservoir.

Etymology

Edmundbyers means "Eādmund's dwellings", from the Old English personal name Eādmund (modern Edmund) and "bur" 'dwelling', modern bower, here in the dialectal form "byer". An undated record of the name lists the town as "Edminber".
