About  Sunderland   

Sunderland was once asunder-land that is land cut asunder, separated or put to one side. Sunderland is not mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. Nevertheless by 1100 there was a fishing village at Sunderland. The village was made a town in 1154 when it was granted a charter. (A document granting the townspeople certain rights such as the right to hold a weekly market). The little town slowly grew. But it only had a population of a few hundred. It would seem tiny to us but settlements were very small in those days.
