Description
The construction of terraces were started by Marley Hill Colliery in 1900. These four rows of terraces form the core of Marley Hill. The terraces are of red industrial brick with Welsh slate roofs. They have sandstone cills and lintels and chimney stacks in paler colliery brick. The houses on the north side of Church Street and in Cuthbert Street are plain and front onto the pavement. Window frames and doors have been replaced. The houses back onto rear lanes with back yards. The houses on the south side of Church Street are slightly larger with small front gardens with low brick walls and cast iron railings. The detailing on the front elevations, with stone jambs to doors and windows is a little grander.

Built in 1877. Stands in a generous churchyard. Built of coursed sandstone and slate in a simple Early English style with grouped lancet windows. The eastern part of the churchyard dates from before the pit village and has a low battered boundary wall, a number of trees and some quality monuments. Consecrated on 15th November 1877 by the Bishop of Durham, Charles Baring. The church was built to seat 254 people. The church cost £3000 and money was raised by public subscription. The first vicar was Rev. Samuel White (1874-1891). Rev. William John Wingate (1892-1896). Rev. William Darnell Croudace (1897-1898). Rev. John Arbuckle (1899-1928). Rev. Francis William Probert (1929-1958). Rev. Gordon Scott (1959-1962). Rev. Alan Gales (1963-1994). Priest in Charge Rev. Stephen Gavin Radley (1996-2001). Rev. Robert Keith Hopper (2002 - present). In 2004 Hillside Parish was formed (Lobley Hill and Marley Hill). The first recorded baptism was Herbert W Coates on 18th November 1877. The first funeral was James Littleton on 17th December 1877. The first marriage was William Spencer Telford and Mary Gray Thirlaway on 16th January 1878. The first sexton (gravedigger and bell ringer) was William Howe Dye. He was killed in an accident at Marley Hill in May 1880. The church has an entrance porch. This leads into a meeting space. A glazed screen with double doors separates this from the nave. The rood screen has been re-sited at the back of the nave. It used to separate the nave and chancel. It is a memorial to the First World War dead. On the right side of the nave is a Second World War memorial and the Marley Hill Miners memorial. The stained glass windows on the north side of the nave are dedicated to Cuthbert Berkley (died 27th January 1912). They depict Christ and saints Peter and Paul. The south side windows are in memory of the Berkley family (Cuthbert, his wife Barbara and son Robert William. They depict the angel of resurrection, and the angels of faith and hope. Cuthbert Berkley lived at Marley Hill House at High Marley Hill. He was the viewer and mining engineer for John Bowes & Partners. In 1862 Cuthbert was a churchwarden at Whickham and was a leading figure in the formation of Marley Hill parish. At the front of the nave is an organ, built by Nicholson of Newcastle around 1870. The chancel is an open space as the choir stalls have been removed. The sanctuary was removed in 2004. The east end windows were dedicated on Palm Sunday 1893 to the memory of Rev. Samuel White. They depict visits to the sick and hungry. The oval window above shows the Holy Spirit descending as a dove. Through the door to the left is the vestry. An extension was built onto the vestry in the early 20th century. The two bells in the belfry were probably cast by Taylors of Loughborough. The church hall was built in 1961.
