Church of St. James, Castle Eden

Located in the picturesque County Durham village of Castle Eden is the Church of St. James.

Czero is planning to convert the former Church of St. James into a stunning individual property that will preserve the look and charms of the church.

The Grade II listed church already has an existing planning permission on the church. Czero are currently in the process of making new amendments to the existing planning application.

Annoucement (September 2024)

As part of the work to convert this former church into a domestic property, we need to bury a packaged waste treatment plant (septic tank) under the ground near to the front gates. We are also creating a turning head on the pathway near to the church entrance.

This work will involve digging in the former graveyard, with the risk of hitting burials, and hence needs to be done under archaeologic supervision.

The purpose of this faculty is to seek permission of the PCC to dig some trial pits on part of the churchyard that is still in the ownership of the PCC. The work is governed by a “Written Scheme of Investigation” which can be read on this link.
