A small village in County Durham, Ryton is historically tied to coal mining. Its name derives from the Anglo-Saxon *Rytton*, reflecting medieval roots. The Ryton Colliery was a major contributor to the industrial growth of the area during the 19th and 20th centuries. The village also became a key part of the Tyne and Wear Metro system, enhancing its modern connectivity.  Ryton is a largely residential area with a variety of local amenities.

Ryton has a large Edwardian park, Ferndene Park, which includes children’s playing equipment, Tennis Court and a bowling green.

Both John Wesley and Charles Wesley preached at Ryton’s village green, which has a rich history with religious and social significance. Like many greens in similar villages, it played host to an annual fair which included jugglers, dancers and local stalls.

The old pinfold dates back to the twelfth century. During the second half of the twentieth century the pinfold was restored.

Charles Thorp set up a savings bank in 1815 in a building within the old village known as the White House which still stands there today. It is thought to have been the first bank of its kind in England.
