Interior – wide inner architrave to door from porch to inquiries counter. Some dado panelling in lobby to counter. Ceased use as chapel when new Church of St. Paul opened. The chapel was built by the local parishioners using stone from local quarries and maybe the beach. The adjoining burial ground was consecrated in 1832. The chapel has been converted into a family home [2009] and the graveyard is a private garden although the graves are still in-situ and the gravestones lie around the perimeter wall. In 1856 the chapel was described by Whellan as being dedicated to the Holy Trinity. 'A small but neat building, erected by subscription in 1826, and consists of a nave and small chancel. It is in the patronage of the Rector of Bishopwearmouth, and in the incumbency of the Rev. William Wilson. Here is a good parochial school, erected in 1826; it will accommodate about 50 scholars. James Liddle, teacher'.
