Religion in Stannington

For such a small village, Stannington seems to have had 4 major religions worshiping in its midst! Even now there are 3 churches/chapels within its borders. The earliest of these is Underbank Chapel. Before this villagers had to travel to Bradfield to worship.

Christ Church

Anglican worship had always been at Bradfield Church, it must have been a journey each week for parishenors. After the Napoleonic wars the government of the day allocated a million pounds towwards the building of more churches. Stannington was chosen as the site of one of these 'million act' churches. It was finally openned in 1830 and had cost under £3,000. The building was in Gothis style with a low bell-tower.
