Particular Baptist Chapel. Seated 600. Shown on Ordnance Survey first edition. The Particular Baptists were a Calvinistic Baptist denomination who believe in predestination.

Brick church with tall round-arched windows and round-arched doors and buttresses. Slate roof. Shown on Ordnance Survey third edition of 1919.

Built in 1901. Stone building with embattled clock tower added 1905. Seated 120. The original freeholders who created Westerhope had strong Methodist connections. A new church was built on the same site in 1972-4.

In use 1900 until 1937. OS maps show it as an United Methodist Chapel, Peter Ryder says it was Methodist New Connexion.

Designed by renowned Scottish architect Sir Robert Rowand Anderson. It was originally intended to be a replica of St. Andrew's Episcopalian Church in Fife, but in the end its design was modified to suit the site and details were more attuned to an English taste (e.g. lighter buttresses). St. Augustin's is an extremely rare example of this architect's work in England. In 1877 the parish of North Shields was created. Captain Linskill of Tynemouth Lodge donated a site for a new parish church. The foundation stone was laid in September 1881 by the Rt. Hon. The Earl Percy MP. It was opened in June 1884 by the Bishop of Newcastle. Due to a shortage of funds, the church was incomplete and consisted only of an aisled nave. In 1878 the pulpit from St. Nicholas's Cathedral in Newcastle was presented to the church and in 1885, an organ by Foster and Andrews of Hull from Christ Church, Sunderland was installed. The chancel and organ chamber were completed in 1888. During the First World War the organ screen, choir stalls, chancel floor and oak entrance porch were added. It is Early English Gothic in style and uses alternating short buttresses with a variety of window forms to the nave and aisles.
The church was listed Grade II in 2012 with the following description:
Details
MATERIALS: the church is of squared coursed sandstone with ashlar dressings, the later vestry is of uncoursed square sandstone with ashlar corner piers. It has Westmorland slate roof coverings with red terracotta ridge tile and cast iron rainwater goods (some replaced with UPVC pipes). The windows have stained or leaded glass.
PLAN: rectangular nave with aisles and chancel; the latter has a large organ chamber attached to its south side and a vestry to its north side.
EXTERIOR: the church is designed in Early English style.
North Elevation: chancel with paired lancets and an attached two-storey, three-bay vestry with a flat roof, slightly projecting corner piers and a castellated parapet with a central, open bellcote. There is a pointed arched ground floor entrance to the right bay with paired lancets above; the left bay has paired lancets to each floor and the central bay has a single lancet to the ground floor. The five-bay nave has a clerestory of large roundels with cinquefoil tracery set within short pointed arched recesses with continuous hoodmoulds. The windows alternate with short buttresses. The aisle is pierced by four round-headed windows with continuous hoodmoulds and a sill stringcourse, alternating with short buttresses. A buttressed, pointed arched gabled entrance at the west end has moulded and columned reveals and double wooden doors with a blind vesica over.
West End: buttressed with a large single pointed arched window in the end of each aisle with hood moulds; the steeply pitched nave with skew stones, has a small oculus at its apex with a large vesica below and paired large pointed arched windows.
East Elevation: similarly steeply pitched and detailed with a large oculus and triple lancet windows below. The apex is surmounted by a stone Celtic cross. The attached full height organ chamber has a pyramidal roof and a lancet with continuous hoodmould.
South Elevation: this is partly obscured but similarly styled to the north elevation
INTERIOR: the chancel has exposed red brick walls above vertical oak panelling with marble flooring and steps to the dais and intricately carved wooden alter. The stained glass of the east window, depicting various Saints, The Risen Christ and The Virgin Mary, forms a memorial to the Fallen of the First World War. It is influenced by the Baroque of Italy and Spain while incorporating contemporary fashions seen in its striking colour scheme and bold patterns. Beyond the ornate metal alter rail there are choir pews to either side in carved oak. To the right is the full height pointed arched organ chamber and organ with carved screen and decorative pipes. The ornate metal chancel screen is set on a stone base as is the richly carved oak pulpit situated immediately left of the chancel arch. Behind the pulpit there is a brass plaque recording the building of the church and on the south side of the chancel are brass war memorials listing the names of the Fallen. Set into the east wall of the south aisle is a small Lady Chapel with an oak reredos. A clergy vestry and entrance lobby with choir vestry above is attached to the north wall of the chancel and accessed through double wooden doors through the east wall of the north aisle; both vestries have fitted wooden cupboards. The nave roof is a wooden barrel vault and the aisles have large lean-to trusses to each column and timber purlins at the mid point. The nave has exposed red facing brick walls and is divided from the aisles by five pointed arches supported on alternating octagonal and circular columns and capitols: piers and arches are in ashlar sandstone. Both aisles have stained glass windows. The benches are pitch pine and the floor is tongue and groove boarding. The lobby occupying arch four of the north aisle is oak-panelled with double wooden doors with leaded upper panels. The sandstone font at the west end comprises a shaft of four attached pillars and an octofoil bowl. Toilets inserted into arch five of the same aisle and a kitchen and former Sunday school room (now a crèche) inserted within arches four and five of the north aisle are not of special interest.
