St John's Chapel is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated in Weardale, on the south side of the River Wear on the A689 road between Daddry Shield and Ireshopeburn.
Nightlife: Pubs in the village include the Blue Bell and the Golden Lion which are both open from dusk till dawn.
It has a population of 442 and of which only 38 are children (as of 2001) in 1980 there were 160 children in the village. Now the nearest secondary school is 14 miles away as is the nearest swimming pool, as for a library that is 22 miles away. This population makes the village marginal in terms of thresholds for service provision. Although the population of the ward (including surrounding hamlets) has stagnated for 30 years this masks the out-migration mainly of the younger generation which has marked the population structure. Although this area has a high quality of life with low pollution and crime rates, 17% of males are unemployed and 21% of households are without a car. This pocket of rural poverty is largely due to the decline in agricultural employment. This is made worse by reduced state support and reduced demand for some food due to health scares. This is worsened as it is a victim of Rural Depopulation. Originally St John's chapel was a medieval hunting stop, it then grew as a centre of lead mining after 1600.
