The church, built of local stone, was designed by Mr. Ewan Christian of London and is a reproduction of a church he had seen and admired while on holiday in Switzerland. It is a small church and has a peaceful and welcoming feel about it. The Right Reverend Dr. Charles Baring, Bishop of Durham consecrated St John’s on 7th March 1867 . The church is open from 9a.m. – 5p.m. most days. Please feel free to visit us when you can.
