Church life in County Durham
County Durham is dominated, in the best sense, by Durham Cathedral, the great Norman church that holds the shrines of St Cuthbert and the Venerable Bede and forms a World Heritage Site with the neighbouring castle. Beyond the city, former pit villages sustain Methodist chapels and parish churches that have anchored their communities for generations.
Whether you are in Durham or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of County Durham.
