Index of Churches and Parishes in County Durham
This index is an attempt to list every church and parish for which registers are
extant for the county. The links are to the parish page for each of the Anglican
parishes or chapelries which existed around the year 1830 (taken from Phillimore).
Information relating to more recently formed parishes and for non-conformist
churches will be found via this index linking back to that reference.
[N.B. As this page is currently under development some of the references listed
here will not be found on the page referred to as yet. Although the link is correct
the page referred to may not have been updated with the church records sought.
Please bear with me while the process is completed. (PRJ)]
