Celebrate the quiet charm of County Durham with this beautifully composed high-resolution aerial photograph of St James’ Church, Coundon. Nestled at the edge of this former mining village near Bishop Auckland, the 19th-century church sits surrounded by mature trees and peaceful burial grounds, forming a serene green oasis amid rows of terraced houses and open countryside.
Designed by renowned architect Ewan Christian and built in 1877, the church is a classic example of Victorian Gothic Revival style, with pointed arches, lancet windows, and a distinctive bellcote spire. This image captures the character of both the church and the surrounding village – perfect for those with ties to the area or an appreciation for local heritage and ecclesiastical architecture.
