Our Building
As we seek to increase links with the wider community, we have plans to make alterations and additions to the building to make it more accessible and functional, serving the town in greater numbers and in new and exciting ways.
Our site also includes a large church hall built in the 1970s, which includes: a large and versatile events space for up to 120 people; kitchen and toilet facilities; a smaller break out space suitable for meetings of 15-20 people; and the parish office, all of which are utilised by the congregation and the wider community.
If you think our buildings could be the perfect venue for your group or event, please contact us for hire information or to make booking enquiries.
Step into St. Cuthbert's
Step into the historic church of St Cuthbert in Darlington, a stunning 12th-century place of worship steeped in tradition, architectural beauty and rich history dating back to when the Saxon township and church were first established. This drone footage takes you on a breathtaking aerial tour of the church's interior, showcasing the impressive architecture, intricate stone carvings, majestic arches, stunning stained-glass windows and serene atmosphere.
As we soar above the pews and glide past ancient pillars, you'll catch glimpses of delicate details often overlooked from the ground, including the medieval wooden roof and the details on the 15th century stone screen that divides the choir from the nave. The church's remarkable design is a testament to its custodians, who have protected and preserved this beloved landmark over the centuries.
St. Cuthbert's Church has for generations graced the marketplace of Darlington. However, the dignified architecture of the 'Lady of the North' has done more than simply adorn the centre of the town. To each generation its presence has witnessed the Good News of Jesus Christ: it has been an oasis of prayer and a sanctuary of stillness in each generation's busy lives.
So join us as we explore the sacred spaces, uncover hidden details and celebrate the community that makes St. Cuthbert's more than just a building. With ongoing restoration projects, including the current Opening Doors Project, this drone tour offers a unique glimpse into the church's past, present and future.
