Civil Parishes
The central area of the City of Durham (the area covered by the pre-1974 City of Durham and Framwelgate) is not parished. Those parts of the district formerly part of Durham Rural District or Brandon and Byshottles Urban District are all parished. The current Brandon and Byshottles Parish Council is co-terminous with the pre-1974 UDC and has inherited some of its responsibilities (e.g. allotments).
Civil Parishes in the former City of Durham district are:
- Bearpark
- Belmont
- Brancepeth
- Brandon and Byshottles
- Cassop-cum-Quarrington
- Coxhoe
- Croxdale and Hett
- Framwellgate Moor
- Kelloe

- Shadforth
- Sherburn
- Shincliffe

Famous quotes containing the word civil:
“The common goal of 22 million Afro-Americans is respect as human beings, the God-given right to be a human being. Our common goal is to obtain the human rights that America has been denying us. We can never get civil rights in America until our human rights are first restored. We will never be recognized as citizens there until we are first recognized as humans.”
—Malcolm X (1925–1965)
