Stillington St. John Parish (Ref: EP/Sti)

Formerly a chapelry in the ancient parish of Redmarshall, Stillington became an ecclesiastical parish in 1872. The chapelry was joined to the township of Whitton, which had been in the ancient parish of Grindon. The parish boundaries were expanded in 1886 to include Foxton and Shotton, both formerly of the ancient parish of Sedgefield.

According to the records found in the archive, the parish church and vicarage were under construction in 1876-1885 (EP/Sti 2/7-34). According to Kelly's Directory of 1910, the church building cost £2,800 and was consecrated in 1880. The church is situated in Whitton, near the site of the former Carlton Iron Works.

The church currently describes itself thus:

St John's is a distinctive red brick church in keeping with the character of the Victorian portions of this industrial village, but surrounded by newer housing. Built in 1879 at the initiative of William Cassidi, then Vicar of Grindon, it is listed grade II, and was recently substantially refurbished with help from English Heritage. Ronald Jasper, a former incumbent, was a distinguished liturgist, and later became Dean of Westminster Abbey. The church enjoys strong links with William Cassidi CE voluntary-aided Primary School.
All Saints is part of a group of six parishes, also including All Saints Great Stainton, St Peter Bishopton, St Cuthbert Redmarshall, St James Grindon and St Peter Wolviston, all within Stockton deanery.

The group of six parishes within the Stockton Deanery to which Stillington belongs also describes itself as below:

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.
