In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Garmondsway Moor like this:
GARMONDSWAY-MOOR, a township in Bishops-Middleham parish, Durhamshire; on the Hartlepool Junction railway, 6½ miles SE by S of Durham. Acres, 1, 040. Real property, £1, 099; of which £230 are in quarries. Pop., 125. Houses, 23. The Via Garmundi, or road of Gormond the Dane, by which Canute went barefooted to the shrine of St. Cuthbert at Durham, traversed the township, and gave rise to its name.
