Cemeteries: County Durham Asked by: Alan Strickland (Labour - Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor) Thursday 19th December 2024 Question To ask the Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, if the Church will take steps to improve the maintenance of Quarrington Hill Graveyard in County Durham. Answered by Marsha De Cordova The management of a churchyard that is legally open for further burials is the responsibility of the local Parochial Church Council. However the situation at Quarrington Hill Churchyard is complicated by it being situated on land subject to ongoing subsidence due to centuries of mine-works beneath the surface. The parish church of St Paul, which originally sat within the churchyard, was demolished in 1993 due to this subsidence. This makes the management and safety of the site complicated, and a great challenge for the small local charity funded exclusively by the personal giving of a dedicated but small congregation. The Parochial Church Council sought the closure of the churchyard by an Order in Council. This would have allowed the management of the churchyard to pass to the Local Authority, which has more resources available for a challenge of this nature. The application was refused, pending a more detailed geophysical survey to determine the safety or otherwise of further burials. I understand however that the costs of such a survey are themselves beyond the means of the Parochial Church Council. The churchyard is open to visitors, following work to make access safe, but the long-term management of the War Graves and other family memorials will require significant resourcing. The Acting Bishop of Durham is due to contact the Member for Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor about the future management and maintenance of the Commonwealth War Graves and the churchyard and will be able to advise him further.
Family Hubs Asked by: Lord Bishop of Durham (Bishops - Bishops) Tuesday 28th November 2023 Question to the Department for Education: To ask His Majesty's Government what level of accountability local authorities have to His Majesty's Government to ensure that they are meeting the expectation of partnering with the voluntary, community and faith sector in implementing family hubs. Answered by Baroness Barran I refer The Lord Bishop of Durham, to the answer of 17 November 2023 to Question HL27. Guidance to local authorities participating in the Family Hubs and Start for Life programme sets an expectation that those local authorities partner with voluntary and faith organisations, as part of their family hub model. All local authorities which are part of the Family Hubs and Start for Life programme have the support of a Regional Delivery Lead and a Regional Delivery Expert Advisor to work with them on this transformation. Local authorities report on their progress against the service expectations, including those relating to voluntary, community and faith groups, through regular meetings between local authorities and their Regional Delivery Leads as part of our assurance process.

Question

To ask the Member for Battersea, representing the Church Commissioners, if the Church will take steps to improve the maintenance of Quarrington Hill Graveyard in County Durham.

Answered by Marsha De Cordova

The management of a churchyard that is legally open for further burials is the responsibility of the local Parochial Church Council. However the situation at Quarrington Hill Churchyard is complicated by it being situated on land subject to ongoing subsidence due to centuries of mine-works beneath the surface.

The parish church of St Paul, which originally sat within the churchyard, was demolished in 1993 due to this subsidence. This makes the management and safety of the site complicated, and a great challenge for the small local charity funded exclusively by the personal giving of a dedicated but small congregation.

The Parochial Church Council sought the closure of the churchyard by an Order in Council. This would have allowed the management of the churchyard to pass to the Local Authority, which has more resources available for a challenge of this nature. The application was refused, pending a more detailed geophysical survey to determine the safety or otherwise of further burials. I understand however that the costs of such a survey are themselves beyond the means of the Parochial Church Council.

The churchyard is open to visitors, following work to make access safe, but the long-term management of the War Graves and other family memorials will require significant resourcing.

The Acting Bishop of Durham is due to contact the Member for Newton Aycliffe and Spennymoor about the future management and maintenance of the Commonwealth War Graves and the churchyard and will be able to advise him further.
