AN exhibition of more than 300 photographs, will commemorate the 125th anniversary of St Mary's Church, Hutton Magna, near Barnard Castle, on Sunday.
Photographs and other memorabilia will be on display, including pictures of the old church and the present one.
The church cost £1,547 to build in 1878, after the original building fell into disrepair.
One of the items on display will be the original accounts book, which contains all the donations made towards the building.
One of the organisers, Marion Lewis, said: "It has every single detail. It even shows that one bazaar managed to raise £474, which was a massive amount of money back then."
There is also a photograph of a bus built by Jack Stapleton at Hutton Magna, called Pride of the Road, which ran the first bus service between Darlington and Barningham.
The exhibition will be on show in the church and the village hall from 1pm to 5pm.
The Bishop of Ripon and Leeds, the Right Reverend John Packer, will read the sermon at a celebratory church service at 6pm.
