History

The Church was built in three stages. The Nave, Chapel and Choir Vestry were built in the early 1900s. In the 1950s the Chancel was added, and in the later part of the 20th century the Narthex, Office, and Library were built.

The Narthex and Chapel originally had a basement, but at some point during the late 20th Century these were filled in due to subsidence.

The Church Centre was constructed in the final quarter of 2004. It features a large main hall, two meeting rooms with a removable partition wall between them, a kitchen, and substantial storage rooms.

Solar panels were installed on the Centre roof in January 2011. All Saints’ was the first church in Durham Diocese to introduce such a project. The solar panels generate about up to 10,000 kW per year, saving tons of carbon dioxide. What we do not use ourselves is fed into the national grid.
