==History==<br />
Shadforth was a farming village from around AD 600. The village is mentioned in the [[Boldon Book]] of 1183. It is perhaps the only village in England with the name 'Shadforth' meaning 'Shallow Ford’. Shadforth is unusual in that it has never had its own pit in an area where mining was a large part of the community.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}}<br />
