The church of St. John the Evangelist, erected in 1875, is a building of stone in the Gothic style, consisting of spacious chancel, nave, organ chamber and a small shingle spire containing one bell: in the chancel are sedilia, and the tracery of the larger windows is beautiful: there are 400 sittings. The grounds around the church are neatly laid out. The registers date from December 1877. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners £300, with residence, in the patronage of the rector of Brancepeth, and held since 1878 by its first vicar, the Rev. Joseph Lawson M.A. of Hatfield Hall, Durham. In connection with St. John's church there is a cemetery, with mortuary chapel, at the village of Brandon. [Kelly's Durham Directory (1890), page 42.]
