In the Northern Echo this week ... a message in a bottle was found under the church, St Helen's Auckland while restoration work was being done. It was written in 1866 by the joiner and mason doing some restoration work at that time. The scanned piece of the letter in the paper is hard to read but it gives an account of work done and names of the people who carried it out. They re-buried it as requested but I'm sure a copy will have been made for Durham Archives.
Two names are quite clear .... I will try to attach it for anyone interested.
