 St Paul's Wheatley Park is twinned with the parish church of St Paul's Evenwood, near Bishop Auckland, County Durham.
The parish of St Paul’s
Evenwood serves a population of around 2,500 and lies in the deanery of
Barnard Castle. It includes the villages Evenwood, Ramshaw, Evenwood
Gate and borders on the parishes of St. Helens, Ingleton, Staindrop,
Cockfield and Etherley.
Evenwood, the heart of
the parish, has four council estates and one private estate but is
predominantly a village of terraced housing. Although there is no
supermarket in the village there is a good range of shops. The parish is
only now emerging fully from the closure of the mining industry with its
associated products, helped by three medium size companies and a number
of smaller units, all of which employ people from the village. In spite
of this most people work outside the parish.
