Welcome to Chilton Moor

Chilton Moor is a small village located in County Durham, England. It is situated between the towns of Houghton-le-Spring and Sunderland. The village has a rich history dating back to the 12th century when it was first mentioned in historical records. The village was once a thriving mining community, but the closure of the mines in the 1980s led to a decline in the local economy. Today, Chilton Moor is a quiet residential area with a close-knit community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Chilton Moor is the St. Andrew's Church. The church was built in the 19th century and is a Grade II listed building. It is a beautiful example of Victorian architecture and features stained glass windows and intricate stonework. The church is still in use today and is a popular venue for weddings and other events.

Chilton Moor is also home to a number of local businesses, including a post office, convenience store, and several pubs. The village has a strong sense of community, and residents often come together for events such as the annual Chilton Moor Carnival. The carnival features a parade, live music, and a variety of food and drink stalls. Overall, Chilton Moor is a charming village with a rich history and a strong sense of community.
