What's on in Dragonville Estate

Durham, England

Dragonville Estate in Durham has always had a certain rugged charm, sitting quietly among the rolling hills with plenty of room to stretch your legs. It is not a place where you rush from door to door, but rather one where you take time to notice the view over the valley or stop for a coffee at a local spot. The estate feels like it knows exactly what it needs, offering a steady hand when the weather turns grey and a warm welcome when you return home. There is usually something going on nearby, be it a market stall setting up in the village square or a community group meeting in the hall. You do not have to hunt for news across the internet because all the local colour gathers here in one tidy package. It is a friendly sort of place where neighbours know each other and everyone agrees that a good walk is the best way to start a Saturday morning.

All the decisions about the Church are taken by the Churchwarden and Parochial Church Council within the guidance of the Church of England. We develop our own services such as Café Church, our Remembrance Day service, and our Village Carol Service. We would be delighted to see you at our regular Sunday Churchwarden is Kevon Edis and you can contact Kevon via the details on the left. For wedding, baptism and funeral enquiries please contact our Churchwarden, Kevon, using the number at the left, or see 'Our People During Vacancy' at the left for contact details. St Mary's Church, a grade II* listed building, has stood beautifully in the village for 160 years. The church plays an important role in the community life of the Parish of West Rainton and Leamside. Over the past two years we have raised enough funds and grants to repair both our stonework and knave roof.
