Romaldkirk is a village in Teesdale, County Durham, in the Pennines of England.
It is thought that the name might be derived from St. Rumwold, a little-known Saxon saint who is said to have preached the Gospel after his baptism as an infant; his resting place is recorded as being in Buckingham. The village church at Strixton, Northamptonshire is unusually dedicated to him.
The village was formerly served by Romaldkirk railway station.
Thomas Page, the engineer, grew up in Romaldkirk.[2]
The architects Maxwell Fry and Jane Drew are buried near the village church.
