About St John's College
Founded in 1909, St John’s College boasts a lively and diverse mix of students and is like no other Durham college.
Set in a series of beautiful listed buildings in Durham's historic heart, the College enjoys stunning views of the Norman Cathedral and River Wear.St John's is one of the smallest colleges, and is renowned for its welcoming and supportive atmosphere.
St John's has two distinctive yet engaged communities at its heart: a diverse community of undergraduates, postgraduates and academics studying for University degrees in all disciplines, and Cranmer Hall, a thriving Anglican theological college in which people are educated and formed for church leadership.
The College has a degree of independence within the University, both financially and in its governance. Our students study for University degrees alongside members of other colleges, but we have the freedom to do things a little differently.

Choral Evensong in remembrance of Tim Yates
There will be a special choral evensong in College Chapel Wednesday on October 19th at 5.15pm remembering the life and ministry of Tim Yates, former Warden of Cranmer Hall.
Tim combined outstanding academic work as a missiologist with a deep pastoral heart both as Warden of Cranmer Hall and as a priest within local parish life. He gave so much to the College as a member of staff, as a member of College Council and latterly as a member of the Development Board.
All welcome.

Leading thinkers in science and technology contribute to new book
Written for general readers of all religious backgrounds, Reason and Wonder, a new book published by SPCK, introduces some of the most fruitful discussions now taking place between leading thinkers in science and theology. As Professor Priest writes in his Preface: ‘In this integrated approach, the notion of science as a monolithic concept is shattered. Instead, the sciences and humanities represent a rainbow tapestry, linked by a common search for understanding, using reason and imagination.’
