Redmarshall St. Cuthbert Parish (Ref: EP/Re)

The parish is composed of three townships: Redmarshall, in which is the church, Carlton, adjacent to the north-east, and Stillington, quite detached, to the north-west. The areas of the three townships are 875, 1,499 and 1,153 acres in the order mentioned. The general surface is flat, but elevated about 150 ft. to 180 ft. above sea level. A brook runs north through the centre of Redmarshall and Carlton to join Whitton Beck near Thorpe Thewles, and here there is a valley. In Stillington the surface is rather more varied, and rises to over 200 ft. above the ordnance datum, several brooks running south-east to join the Bishopton or Whitton Beck, which forms the boundary on that side. Shotton Beck bounds it on the north.
From: 'Parishes: Redmarshall', A History of the County of Durham: Volume 3 (1928), pp. 315-321. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42636 Date accessed: 20 December 2013.

The grade I listed church building at Redmarshall dates from the late 12th century and contains Jacobean box pews. Attached to the nave is the Langton Chapel which contains recumbent effigies of Sir Thomas and Lady Sybil de Langton. In the sancturary there is an Easter Sepulchre and Sedilia.
St Cuthbert's is part of a group of six parishes, also including All Saints Great Stainton, St Peter Bishopton, St John the Divine Stillington, St James Grindon and St Peter Wolviston, all within Stockton deanery.

Our group of parishes was formed in 2004, and at that time also included St Peter's Wolviston. Since then, we've been working together increasingly closely, while maintaining our individual identities. At Easter 2013, the main area of St Peter's Wolviston became part of the new Team Parish of Billingham while the area to the west of the A19 (part of the Wynyard housing estate) was transferred to Grindon parish. The five parishes that remain in the group are extremely diverse and cover a wide area, stretching a distance of 12 miles from Great and Little Stainton villages in the west to the A19 near Wynyard and Billingham in the east.

Just to give you some idea of the diversity, the parishes span sixteen centres of population, ten civil parishes, and three boroughs (Darlington, Stockton and Hartlepool)! One is an industrial village by heritage, another is almost purely a farming community, and others include a mix of younger families, professionals, retired people, and long-term village residents. What our five congregations all share in common is a desire to be a spiritual resource for our parishes at the beginning of the 21st century.
