Church of St John the Evangelist, Victorian religious building in Darlington, England
The Church of St John the Evangelist stands on Neasham Road with its distinguishing tower and a ring of eight bells.
Construction of the church began in 1847 under architect John Middleton, with the foundation stone placed by Member of Parliament George Hudson.
This Grade II listed structure maintained religious services for over 170 years until its final congregation gathered in February 2023.
The building features vestries added in 1900 by W.S. Hicks and contains a two-manual organ installed by H.S. Vincent and Company in 1890.
Five of the church bells date from 1848 by Charles and George Mears, while three additional bells were added in 1893 by Mears and Stainbank.
