St Andrew's Church, Haughton-le-Skerne


St Andrew's Church is a Church of England parish church in Haughton-le-Skerne, Darlington. The church is a Grade I listed building.

History

The church was originally built in the 12th century and restored in the 15th century. In 1795, it was expanded with the addition of transepts, a vestry and a south porch. Notable original features include Norman windows, pews, a pulpit and lectern that date to 1662, and a 15th-century font cover. It is the oldest church in Darlington.

Present day

On 28 April 1952, the church was designated a Grade I listed building.
From 1993 to 2009, St Andrew's was associated with a church plant in a local school: having been closed because of a lack of leadership, the plant merged back into St Andrew's. The church stands in the Open Evangelical tradition of the Church of England.
