Parish Profiles St Aidan’s, Chilton C K St Helen’s, Kelloe C St Marys, Coxhoe Page 2 Parish Profiles for St Aidan’s, Chilton and The United Benefice of Kelloe & Coxhoe Introduction Welcome to our Parish Profiles. Thank you for taking the time to read them. Our aim is to give you an understanding of our three parishes and a taste of what it might be like to be a part of the joint family of St Aidan’s, Chilton and the United Benefice of Kelloe & Coxhoe. Whilst we are three churches, we have, for a number of years, shared the same priest. Therefore the styles of worship are very similar. Each of the churches has a very experienced and dedicated lay team. These parishes have shared a female priest before and welcome the ordained ministry of women and men equally. We hope this information will enable you to consider prayerfully our vacancy for a new priest-in-charge and we look forward to meeting you should you decide to apply. Page 3 Our next incumbent We would welcome applications from any candidates who feel personally drawn by God to serve in these parishes.

Within a 25 mile radius are the cities of Durham, Newcastle, Sunderland and Middlesbrough. The Metro Centre is a short drive up the A1.The Durham coast with its great heritage is within easy reach and the beautiful countryside of Weardale and Teesdale are a short drive away. There are excellent rail links to all parts of the country via Durham and Darlington. In the past eight years the parish has shared a Vicar with the United Benefice of Kelloe and Coxhoe Map showing the area around the town of Chilton 2 Description of Parish The town of Chilton is a small town with a population of approximately 4000, situated eight miles South of Durham City and 9 miles north of Darlington. On the southern edge of the Durham coalfield, it initially developed as a mining village but, following the closure of the pits, it has become a dormitory town for workers with jobs in the surrounding area. There are good transport links with junction 60 of the A1 within 3 miles. There is significant new housing development at both ends of the town. C Map showing the village of Chilton and St Aidan’s The village has its own Primary School with Nursery. The last OFSTED was carried out in 2016 and the school received a Good rating and commended the school particularly in the areas of Personal Development and well being of learners. There is a wide range of out of hours activities for the children at the school. Also linked to the school is the Chilton and Windlestone Community College with varied activities for adults going on throughout the week. To the north west of the town is Windlestone School, which caters for both day and residential students with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school moved into the modern purpose built school in 1986. For further information see www.windlestoneschool.com/ There is also a Surestart Centre attached to the school which provides support for families from pregnancy through to starting school. The Town Council office is situated at Hutton House on Durham Road. Citizen’s Advice sessions are currently held at the Chilton Town Council Offices, Hutton House, Durham Road every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00am to 1:00pm. There is a busy Post Office, a Sainsbury’s Local, a Co-operative Store, two hairdressers and a new medical centre which houses a pharmacy Sadly many of the local shops closed in recent years due to competition from nearby supermarkets, The Miners’ Welfare Ground is located at the northern end of the town, a park area with several leisure facilities including a bowling green, floodlit tennis courts and an excellent children’s play area. The multi use games area is located within the Charlie Wayman Playing Field at West Chilton Terrace. Floodlighting was installed to allow all year use. Charlie Wayman was probably Chilton’s famous son, playing centre forward for Newcastle United and Southampton. His brother, Frank, was also a professional footballer. Tennis Courts Bowling Green Multi-use games area 4 In 2009 a £130k children’s playground was opened in the Pentlands area The Town Council organises a Gala Day each year in the summer, this is a relatively recent innovation and has proved to be extremely popular and the number of attractions has grown year on year. Pentlands The Gala Queen is chosen at St Play Park Aidan’s Summer Fayre. The parish church has a good relationship with the two other churches in Chilton, Windlestone Methodist and Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church. Chilton Care Centre, a purpose built Care Home, was opened in 2006, providing accommodation for 40 residents, specialising in residential, nursing and dementia care for older people. Approximately 65% of the population is economically active and 15% are retired. Most of those who work having to travel outside the town. Around two thirds of housing is owner occupied. Church Building St Aidan’s church is situated on the main street, on the northern edge of the current town. The first Church of England services in Chilton were held in an end terrace house in South View Windlestone. St Aidan’s first building was opened in 1904, constructed of corrugated iron and known as the ‘Tin Church’. These buildings were burned down on 12th March 1928. Shortly after this work started on Chilton Church Hall, which is still in regular use today. The current building was consecrated on the 10th May 1930 by the Bishop of Durham the Rt Revd H H Henson. The South door entrance was ramped to provide disabled access in 2007. The interior of St Aidan’s The church building is in a good state of repair. The church hall is used by a dance group 3 times a week, by a Zumba class and by a cub and a scout group. The Church hall is still being used regularly, There have been improvements made to the hall. Both rooms have been repainted and the kitchen has been refurbished, thanks to a grant Disabled access ramp from the local council of £5000. 5 A foodbank operates out of the once a week and a computer class will start in April to provide training and access for those people who use the foodbank and also to the wider community. There is an opportunity to increase the hall use through publicity and marketing and this is something to be developed in the future. There is a Lunch Club once a month to encourage the community to use the hall and attracts around 20 people. Worship Sunday 9.00 am Wednesday 10.00 am Holy Communion (Common Worship) Holy Communion (Common Worship). The services booklets were developed about 7 years ago by the clergy and a sub group of the PCC to reflect seasonal variations. Normal vesture is Cassock Alb and Stole and the worship is central in tradition but quite relaxed and informal. On the second Sunday of the month we use a nave Communion Table. Sunday morning attendance is normally in the mid to high 20s, and on a Wednesday in the high teens and both these congregations have held steady during the last few years. Recently our organist retired and we currently have our organ music played via computer and sound system with words displayed by projector onto a screen. Until recently there was a 1st@4 monthly service for all ages which was started in 2007 as an outreach to people with little experience of church. This was discontinued due to decreasing numbers. Over the past few years we have had 4 children and 7 adults confirmed, mostly as a result of this service. The PCC therefore feel that it is important that a similar service should be revived and developed in the future. On a monthly basis our pastoral team of 6 take Home Communions to 8 of our members who are no longer able to get to regular worship. Special services are held throughout the year including the Civic Remembrance and Carol Services which are very well attended. Local participation includes readers from various areas of the community and participation by an after-school choir group and the Chilton Primary School steel band. On Christmas Eve we hold a Christingle and Crib Service which is one of the best attended services of the year and much valued by the community. There are 61 on the Electoral Roll. Numbers of Occasional Offices taken during recent years are as follows 40 Baptisms (2012-15) 17 Weddings (2012-15) 38 Funerals (2012-15) 6 Teaching The pattern of sermons normally follows the lectionary and the congregation is open to different styles of preaching from the formal sermon from the pulpit to interactive sermons. A Lent group meets each year and are led mainly by laity with some input from clergy. The material to be used by group is discussed between clergy and laity. Confirmation classes have been held locally for the past two years, since becoming a parish in our own right again, with 6 adults and 4 children being confirmed in the past three years. Deanery confirmation is held in one of the churches in the Deanery. Finance In 2015 the parish share was £12,600 and the parish paid £12,600. The parish has paid the share in full for the past three years A copy of the audited accounts is attached. The PCC works very hard with the treasurer to try to maintain a good level of giving to charities and this year we have supported the work of Cumbrian Flood Appeal and the Family Help CIO (Ladies Refuge Darlington). The Vicar is also given a discretionary hardship fund from which they can meet the needs of those who come to the door. The incumbent’s travelling, telephone, postage and stationery expenses are paid in full. Ministry There is excellent lay participation in worship with 11 people who read lessons and 4 leading intercessions; there are also 9 licensed to assist with the distribution of Communion. Two people are licensed to lead Communion by Extension services There is a pastoral team of 6 people who take Home Communions to the housebound. Church members are also very good at supporting one another in illness. Wider Links Church Up to February 2008 St Aidan’s was part of the parish of Great Aycliffe and Chilton. Due to pastoral reorganisation Chilton became a parish in its own right again with our Vicar also being Vicar of Coxhoe and Kelloe. The parishes have recently been involved in the establishing of a new locality consisting of Kelloe, Coxhoe, Cornforth, Ferryhill and Chilton. This informal grouping is in its infancy but has so far come together to put on children's events and we are developing working together. 7 There is full support of the Deanery of Sedgefield, and the parish has been supportive of Deanery services and special events. Community We have a very good relationship with the Town Council and liaise with them with regard to Civic services and other events which are organised by them as well as the Area Action Partnership. The previous incumbent developed links with the school include liaising to bring all the school children to the church for visits in connection with curriculum activities. They also provide musical input into the Carol Service and hold their Harvest Festival Service in church. The previous incumbent held occasional assemblies in the school and was supported by the head teacher. Fellowship The parish runs social activities almost every month throughout the year, these being organised by the Social Committee. These are well supported by church members and by non members alike. They are much valued by those who attend. During the past year we have had Handbell ringers, harvest supper and beetle drive, quizzes and light musical entertainment. The Social Committee also organise a trip each year, this year around 40 people having a day out at Whitby. There ‘is a film club every month showing modern family films. The Mothers’ Union is a healthy group with 20 Members and our Enrolling member is also the Deanery Leader. The group meets monthly on the 4th Monday of each month. Chat and craft is a very informal group which again has non-church members. They meet on a Monday afternoon when the MU is not meeting. A projector and screen have been installed in the church. The future We would like to carry on exploring how the church building can be developed so that we can reach out into the community. During school holidays a ‘Pop-up Café is held to feed under privileged children and is provided free. We would like to grow any activity where we can involve more families and youth. We would like to carry on developing the confidence of all the people to take part in worship, learning about the faith and in outreach. We would want to develop our working together with the other clergy and churches in our locality. A recent SWOT analysis by the PCC came up with the following: 8 Strengths Weaknesses Listening Church Aging Congregation Welcoming Lack of Children Friendliness Not easily accepting change Sound System Same people ―doing‖ Leadership and Teamwork Time of Sunday Service Willing Hands Not enough publicity Food Bank—weekly Lunch Club—monthly Lay involvement increasing IT Skills Location in centre of town.

The United Benefice of Kelloe & Coxhoe Mission, Ministry and Building our Future 17 Page 4 1. Introduction and overview 1.1 Our part of County Durham The villages of Coxhoe and Kelloe are situated on the South East side of Durham City. Transport logistics are very good. The A1 provides fast road links to Teesside, Tyneside and the rest of the country, train service from mainline station at Durham, and Newcastle and Teesside Airports within 30 minutes travel. This has facilitated growth in housing. The 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation census on Living Environment scored 28,988 for Kelloe and 32,145 for Coxhoe (out of 32,844 LSOA’s). It is a beautiful area. 2015 IMD Scores 1.2 KELLOE COXHOE IMD 10901 22334 Employment 9348 19394 Education & Skills 16839 26839 Health 8141 13584 Barriers to Housing & Services 2328 32198 Crime 19699 17824 Living Environment 28988 32145 Income depravation older people 11496 29297 The United Benefice of Kelloe and Coxhoe The United Benefice was created in 1996 , consisting of two churches and two parishes. Kelloe publishes a monthly magazine which is distributed to 150 households per month, and, St Mary’s has had an active website since 2009 that regularly attracts 900+ visitors a month. We are in the process of changing the website to include a portal for St Helen’s. 1.3 Our Passion for change As churches we are mindful of the need to do things differently. Whilst not wishing to disregard the past traditions, we need to reflect changes in worship patterns in order that we can effectively minister the Gospel of Christ in today’s society. We acknowledge that this is challenging both for us as a church, and, for our new incumbent. Building on our existing strengths, we are ready to embrace this exciting opportunity. Page 5 St Helen’s, Kelloe 2. Our Village 2.1 Population Kelloe has a population of around 1,100. Neighbouring Parishes are Trimdon, Cassop cum Quarrington, Coxhoe, and Ferryhill & Cornforth.

Major supermarkets, including ASDA, Tesco, and Sainsburys, are located approximately 5 miles away. 2.2 Community Community events are usually held at the WMC. These include harvest and Christmas social evenings. Our Summer Fayre is held in church at the end of June when we celebrate the life of the poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning who was baptised in the font we use today. We celebrate with a flower festival, songs, sketches, poems and afternoon tea. This event is well supported by the local and wider community. 2.3 Employment Originally a mining village only the agricultural business now remains.

Additional seating can be provided with chairs. A sound system, with T Loop, was installed in 2012. Radiators are heated by a gas boiler. The 2014 QI identified issues with the Chancel and Tower Roof, Parapets, Rainwater Goods. The biggest project is the deterioration of the stonework; a full re-point is required. As a Grade 1 listed building we are able to apply for grants toward the renovations required. We have applied for LPW Roof Grant for £94, 900 toward the cost of £141,000. We have raised £13k and are applying for other grants. This obviously is an ongoing project. 2.7 Pattern of Worship Sunday 11.00 am (5th Sunday is a joint service with Coxhoe; location alternated between the two churches) Baptisms are held on the 4th Sunday of the month at 12.15 pm Weekdays Holy Communion on 1st and 3rd Thursdays at 10am followed by coffee morning.

There are two other churches in Coxhoe; St Andrew’s (Methodist) and St Joseph’s (RC). 3.3 Employment The modern village was spurred by the coal industry. The first shaft was sunk in 1827 and closed in 1933. Nowadays many of Coxhoe’s inhabitants work in Tyne & Wear and on Teesside. These areas are very accessible from the village with Newcastle, Sunderland, Stockton and Darlington all within a 30 minute drive. This has made Coxhoe a popular dormitory town. However there is an increasing amount of new light industry entering the area with more planned. 3.4 Education There are a number of nurseries within the village and the surrounding villages.

Mission, Ministry and building our future Our parishes are supportive of each other. In particular Kelloe and Coxhoe have developed a close working relationship helped by proximity. Styles of worship are complementary as for many years we have shared the same priest. Whilst we recognise that we have failed to attract the interest of younger generations, it is the older generation who currently sustain our churches. However we need to review and consider how to make our churches relevant to all ages in our communities. Whilst embracing all who are within our walls, it is those currently outside the walls of our churches who are the future. The message hasn’t changed, but, the method of delivery has to be tailored to an ever shifting culture. Our new incumbent can be assured of congregations committed to growing, worshipping and working together that recognize the opportunities that a larger group can bring. 20th April 2016 [v5] APPENDIX A Page A1 Vicarages There are two vicarages one of which can be used for this appointment. We have listed brief details below. Further information is available on request. Chilton Chilton vicarage is a good sized Edwardian property with 4 bedrooms, the quinquennial inspection was carried out in early 2015 and there are no items outstanding. A new kitchen and utility room were fitted in 2010 and the property is in a good state of repair and decoration.
