James Grew and Tatiana Grew
We moved into Esh 1 year ago and have been renovating the property to completely transform it into a lovely home.
We got married in June 2016. Tatiana moved up to the North East to live with James who already lived in Durham.
Esh is a village and civil parish situated around five miles north-west of Durham in County Durham, England. The central area of the village contains a stone cross, which probably replaced a former market cross. This is locally known as St Cuthberts Cross and bears the inscription I. H. S., and the date 1687. Esh is a rural village, nestled between a number of working farms; it has two primary schools, a pub and two churches, St Michael and All Angels (C of E) and St. Michael's (Roman Catholic).
