Spennymoor is a town and civil parish in County Durham, England. It is south of the River Wear and is 7 mi south of Durham. The civil parish includes the villages of Kirk Merrington, Middlestone Moor, Byers Green and Tudhoe.
The land on which Spennymoor now stands was once a vast expanse of moorland covered with thorn and whin bushes . In 1336 its place-name was recorded as Spendingmor. The name is probably derived from the Old English or Old Norse spenning and mōr, meaning a moor with a fence or enclosure.
