Nathaniel, Lord Crewe was Bishop of Durham when he died in 1721, which at that time included all the lands now in Newcastle Diocese as well as Durham Diocese.

The project was set up to respond to the growing needs of Asylum Seekers and Refugees across the Diocese.

Across both dioceses we are supporting projects to improve the provision of facilities and services for children and young people.

The Bamburgh Library originated with the Sharp family library established at Bamburgh Castle between the mid-17th and mid-18th Centuries.

The Bridge Project has been established by Durham Diocese to deliver outcomes under their Challenging Poverty missionary priorities, supporting clergy to raise awareness of the issues of poverty, develop sustainable responses to immediate need, and build capacity to contribute effectively to the reform of unjust structures in society.

We are delighted to support diocesan clergy counselling, which is a leading example of such a service enabling clergy and clergy families to access high quality professional support when it is most needed.
