Pevsner - tower recased and heightened by 12ft c.1764: the lower part of the west wall and the tower arch within the upper stages look entirely medieval. Outside, the tower is plain, with rusticated quoins and one round window over a round-arched west door. One-storey extensions with Venetianwindows either side, north 1810-12, south pre-1870. Wide nave with tall arched windows and shorter ones with biforated tracery above to light the gallery. Blocked Tuscan north doorway. South wall probably basically of 1784; the rest of 1810-12. Windows at the east end blocked in 1941 except the lower three round the semicircular apse. Interior with galleries on cast-iron Tuscan columns round three sides. Upper level also with columns (Corinthian) carrying an arcade. The back of the west gallery on two more Tuscan columns with fluted brackets and two colonnettes. Dull plaster ceiling of 1875-9, part of J.H. Morton's restoration. Fluted Corinthian pilasters between the apse windows supporting decorated ribs. Between the ribs, plaster reliefs of St. Peter, St. John, and the Ascending Christ said to be part of the 1810-12 decoration (but the "British Architect" of 1879 says J.H. Morton was responsible for the entire redecoration of the apse). The apse painted a rather vivid sky-blue in the 1977 redecoration. Font - baluster type: gadrooned bowl on a twisted column of 1675 by Robert Trollope. Pulpit - good specimen of 1882 on a tall pillar, with ornamental brass rail and stair balustrade. Organ case - south aisle, by J.F. Bentley 1865-6, painted red and blue with stencilled vine and Green-style ornament. Chandelier - gilt 1802. Model of an early lifeboat suspended from the ceiling, also 1802 and gilt. Stained glass - vivid cricifixion windows by H.M. Doyle, 1952, replacing original painted windows of the same subject. St. Hilda window by Septimus Waugh of York, 1980. Gatepiers - four facing the Market Place, the inner ones with vases. Sundial in the churchyard 1703.

The Chapels lie to the east of the entrance at the centre of the cemetery. An

porch and vestry of each chapel with a grand arched carriage-way at the centre.
All is built in coursed rubble, with ashlar for dressings and decorative features
and with slate roofs.
Designed in a free late gothic manner. [Tudor overtones]
The most outstanding feature is the very tall and elegant tower and spire which
surmounts the central gate-way. Square for the first 2 stages, the archway in the
first. Second stage has narrow octagonal turrets at the angles which rise into the
third stage. Third stage is octagonal with tall traceried openings. Fourth stage
a narrow octagonal stage with pierced parapet. Finally a tall spire.
The whole ensemble makes a good set piece within the now mature setting of the
cemetery. LISTED GRADE 2

Was listed grade 2.
When Freemasonry was established in South Shields in the late 18th Century there were no Masonic Buildings and Lodges had to hold their Meetings in taverns. The first Lodge was the St. Bede Lodge founded in 1714 and meeting at The King of Prussia Inn in King Street. This Lodge moved to Morpeth in 1789, and was erased in 1815. The oldest existing Lodge in South Shields is St. Hilda Lodge No. 240, consecrated in March 1780. It was probably consecrated at 'The Golden Lion Inn, King Street. The Lodge met there until October, 1822. Then they met at the Freemason's Arms, the house of the then Tyler, Mr. Grieves. The Lodge returned to The Golden Lion in November 1822 but there was a dispute with the landlord over payment for candles and it was resolved to remove to the Crown and Anchor, Commercial Street, (the property of Bro. James Hall). From December 1822 until December 1826, the Lodge met at the Crown and Anchor except for two occasions on 26th and 27th December 1822 when it returned to the Golden Lion for a meeting of Provincial Grand Lodge and the Annual Festival respectively. In January 1827 the Lodge returned to the Golden Lion and continued to meet there until May 1861. In May 1861 the Lodge began to hold its Meetings' in the Central Hall, Chapter Row and remained there until the new Freemasons’ Hall in Fowler Street was opened in March 1863. The new hall cost of £600. On 27th. August 1862 the foundation stone was laid, by W. Bro, George Potts, PProvSGW a distinguished Past Master of the Lodge. The water for the cement for the foundation stone was brought in a bottle from the River Jordan, by the Chief Engineer of H.M.S. Melpomene. The silver trowel used in the Ceremony was returned to St. Hilda Lodge in October 1990 by a descendant of W. Bro. Potts living in Virginia, U.S.A. The new Hall was opened on 9th March, 1863. Freemasonry continued to flourish in the town to the extent that on 10th April 1882 a petition was submitted for the formation of a new Lodge. The petition was granted and on the 15th September 1882: the Hadrian Lodge No. 1970 was consecrated in the Fowler Street hall. After being vacated by the Freemasons, the building was used for retail shopping. It was demolished in March 1983 to make way for the Denmark Shopping Centre. The actual site is now occupied by Thomas Cook the Travel Agents.
