+The Cross of St Cuthbert refers to the fact that Bedlingtonshire was anciently an exclave of County Durham after Bedlington and the hamlets belonging to it were bought by Cutheard, bishop of Durham, between 900 and 915, and although locally situated in Northumberland, it became part of the County Palatine of Durham, over which Bishop Walcher was granted royal rights by William the Conqueror. The parish church is also dedicated to St Cuthbert. It is reputed that the church takes its dedication from an event that occurred December 12, 1069: fleeing northwards from the Conqueror's army, the monks of Durham are said to have rested the body of St Cuthbert in Bedlington Church. The black diamonds and the coal tub refer to coal mining referring to one of the areas main industries.
