Description
The Church of St. Edward (Roman Catholic) and the attached school were built in 1861 by Stevenson of Berwick. The structure features random rubble with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The church is located at the rear and right, while the school projects on the left.
The church includes a nave, chancel, south porch, and north chapel. The long three-bay nave has a central gabled porch with a cusped round window and a door on the right side. There are flanking two-light windows with geometric tracery. The one-bay chancel forms the cross stroke of a T, resembling transepts, and has a three-light window with cusped heads.
The school features three-light windows with square-topped shouldered heads. Both the church and school have steeply-pitched roofs with coping, kneelers, decorative slate work, and fleurs-de-lys ridge tiles. The left side of the school has a four-bay facade with gabled half-dormers.
Inside the church, there is a stoup in the porch dated 1693, said to have come from Haggerston Castle. Additionally, there is a west gallery supported by cast-iron columns with wrought-iron brackets.
