Bishop Auckland is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2019 by Dehenna Davison, a Conservative.
Constituency profile
The constituency is located in an upland, southern part of County Durham in the North East of England. On a more local level it comprises the whole of the former Teesdale district, and parts of former Wear Valley district and the former Sedgefield borough.
The constituency includes as its major settlements the towns of Barnard Castle, Middleton-in-Teesdale, Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Spennymoor and its contiguous suburb village, Tudhoe, with their surrounding villages, dales and fields.The seat contains the market town Bishop Auckland which has a mixed modern and historic high street, the similarly sized Barnard Castle, and large areas used for agriculture, particularly hill farming on the rolling landscape that cuts into the Pennines with substantial livestock.[3] Most housing, many small towns and most facilities were built in the prosperous era of coal mining which brought thousands of workers to live in Bishop Auckland town and neighbouring settlements. Manufacturing, including food processing and packaging, public sector employment, retail and agriculture are the main employers.[3]
Within the seat are Auckland Castle and Park, Lartington Hall, Windlestone Hall, Raby Castle, Binchester Roman Fort (Vinovia), The Bowes Museum, and enclosures and industrial workings on Cockfield Fell.[4]
Boundaries
1885–1918

The constituency was created for the 1885 general election by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 as one of eight new single-member divisions of the county of Durham, replacing the two 2-member seats of North Durham and South Durham. See map on Vision of Britain website.[6]
1918–1950

1950–1955
- The Urban Districts of Barnard Castle, Bishop Auckland, and Shildon; and
- the Rural District of Barnard Castle.[9]
The urban and rural districts of Barnard Castle transferred from the abolished constituency thereof.

2007 Boundary review
Following a review of parliamentary representation in County Durham in 2007, the Boundary Commission for England made no changes to the Bishop Auckland constituency. In the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, the local authority districts in Durham were abolished and replaced with a single unitary authority; however, this has not affected the boundaries of the constituency.
