The Commissioners have always said that the Roman remains were never under threat, despite being split across two plots, because, as the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, it is a criminal offence to damage, demolish, or alter it without permission from the Secretary of State. Dr Ferguson said that the Trust would now seek to work with English Heritage and Durham County Council to make the Roman settlement available to archaeologists and tourists.

Earlier this year, it was announced that a third-century silver ring - which, because of its inscription, could be the earliest evidence of Christianity in Roman Britain - had been discovered at the site of the Roman fort. When the Commissioners declined an initial "multi-million-pound" offer for the Binchester site before the auction deadline had elapsed, Mr Ruffer launched a campaign to reverse that decision, gathering thousands of signatures in an online petition.

He said that development could ruin the Roman fort. The Diocese of Coventry is seeking to appoint a part time New Ministries Lead to focus on the growth and development of new ministers, both ordained and lay, as part of the overall Diocesan Strategy.
