Church Of St Edward (Roman Catholic) And Attached School

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.
