Flower Delivery to Pity Me with Clare Florist

Pity Me is a village in County Durham, located in northeast England. The village’s unusual name is debated by many, but likely dates back to the 19th century and references its rather difficult land topography, as the soil is mostly peat and marsh-like. It appears from historical records that the town was previously called “Petit Mere” from its Normandy beginnings, also known as Petty Mere or Peaty Mere. This references a shallow lake that is in the village, but also could be related to the wastewater pond “Pithead Mere.” Some locals believe the town’s name may refer to folk stories about the Vikings arrival in the town or St. Cuthbert’s coffin being dropped in the town on the way to Durham. Whatever the exact origin, it makes the town memorable.

Pity Me, like many of the small suburban villages throughout Durham, was once a thriving mining community.
