Durham
englandcrossblue-gold-redheraldic
The Durham flag features a blue field with a gold and red cross, based on the arms of the Prince Bishops of Durham who held both secular and religious authority in the county for centuries. The cross of St Cuthbert is the central element.
The Prince-Bishops of Durham were uniquely powerful — they could raise armies, mint coins, and hold their own courts, essentially ruling as kings within the county.
