The population of Dunston was almost wiped out by the Black Death in 1348/9 and it is believed that the church became ruinous at that time. St Remigius' church > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351405 is located in Commonclose Plantation, on the edge of the golf course which adjoins Dunston Hall Hotel (formerly Dunston Hall), and can be reached via a wooded track > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351390 which turns off Stow Lane. The building was restored in Victorian times > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351439 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351489 but retains a C15 rood screen, the lower panels of which are lost but the upper tracery with carved figures in the corners is original > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351441 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351449. Some of the windows contain medieval stained glass > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351466 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351473 - http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351480. There is a 17th century brass. The chancel pews are of Tudor origin, as is the font. The pews in the nave are Victorian. The Alabaster decoration inside the east window > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351458 is recent, the German organ > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1351454 was given to the church in 1921.

A public footpath traverses the churchyard and the church is often open - a key is available from nearby in case the door is locked.
