Description
1882.
The church was built as a result of the separation of the ecclesiastical district of St Oswald from Hebburn Parish. It was believed by the vicar at the time that the change would be conducive to the welfare of the church. The Prime Minister appointed the Rev. P. W. Clarke to the newly-formed district. The licence was granted by the Bishop on 28th July 1881, relieving St Cuthbert’s of responsibility for Hebburn Colliery.
An organ was commissioned in 1909 from Harrison & Harrison. LOCAL LIST
