Bishopton St. Peter Parish (Ref: EP/Bis)
Ancient parish including East and West Newbiggin and Little Stainton.
The church was almost completely rebuilt in 1846-7 by the Rev. Thomas Burton Holgate, vicar, (fn. 77) the only portions of the old church now remaining being parts of the chancel walls and of the south wall of the nave. The building formerly consisted of 'a long, narrow chancel and nave,' (fn. 78) the aisle and tower being additions at the time of rebuilding, and was apparently of late 13th-century date, part of a window of c. 1280-90, consisting of a single trefoil light with internal shouldered arch, still remaining on the north side of the chancel arch [see EP/Bis 261/1]. No other original architectural features, however, have been preserved. Two stones in the lower part of the east wall bear incised consecration crosses, but the east window itself is a modern one of three lancets [see EP/Bis 261/1]. A mediaeval grave slab is built into the south wall of the nave outside, and another at the southwest angle, together with a cusped fragment.
The building is of stone with green slated roofs overhanging at the eaves. A sundial on the south wall is dated 1776 and bears the motto 'Fugit hora,' with latitude 54° 38'. There were repairs in 1877, (fn. 79) and a stone reredos in memory of the Rev. Charles Ford (vicar 1858-88) was erected in 1889. In the chancel are two old oak chairs, each bearing the initials W.B., and below the tower an oak chest [see EP/Bis 260/3].
The font is apparently of late 12th-century date and consists of an octagonal bowl shaped to round on a circular banded stem and moulded base [see EP/Bis 260/5].
There is a ring of three bells cast by C. & G. Mears in 1847 [see EP/Bis 74/1-3 and EP/Bis 239].
The plate consists of a chalice and cover paten, without hall-marks, the former inscribed 'Hunc sacrum poculum voluit D[ominus] Ricardus Croft Ecc[les]iæ de Bishopton Vicarius. Anno Christi: 1680' (fn. 80) ; and a chalice, two patens and flagon of 1849-50, the chalice inscribed: 'Presented to Bishopton Church by the Rev. Thos. Burton Holgate, B.A. Vicar, and by his sisters Elizabeth Holgate and Alice Bamford the widow of Robert Walker Bamford, B.D. late Vicar, Easter 1850.' The two patens bear a similar inscription [see EP/Bis 239 and EP/Bis 260/6,7].
From: 'Parishes: Bishopton', A History of the County of Durham: Volume 3 (1928), pp. 213-216. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42622 Date accessed: 03 January 2014.
The most observable matter at Bishopton is the ancient mound or stronghold in a field at the East end of the village. This mound or agger is nearly a regular cone, with a flat or truncated summit, formed of the common clay and coble-stone of the country thrown together. Its base is surrounded by a deep circular trench: a second, or outward fosse, runs at the distance of a bow-shot to the East and West, but approaches the inner ditch much nearer on the North and South, forming an irregular square; and on the South of the station flows the Bishopton beck, by means of which the trenches might be easily inundated. The site of this little stronghold is a narrow area of low plashy meadow, completely commanded by the rising ground to the North-west, occupied by the village and church. It is evident that the chief confidence of the occupants against assault or surprise, must have rested on the facility with which they could flood the trenches, a mode of defence extremely common amongst the lower order of castelets, or fortified manor-houses; and sometimes even adopted in castles of the highest class in preference to all more obvious advantages of situation (fn. 1). [see EP/Bis 121, 123, 124]

See EP/Bis 255/1 regarding group ministries. This is how they describe themselves on their website:
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.
