I believe the Jayline 211 ran through Hutton Henry in both directions and presumably servered the stops you mention in the hamlet of Sheraton. I believe when GNE took over they wanted to avoid the need for the bus to cross the carriageway of the A19 to head south so the route was revised away from there.
After this Arriva served Hutton Henry by sending Durham bound 22s via the village and Peterlee bound 246s the other way. This system meant Hutton Henry had a bus in each direction to Wingate but neither route needed to cross the A19. All that's left now is the single direction 246 which makes a journey to Wingate impractical.
