Church Of St Philip

The Church of St. Philip is a parish church built in 1871 by architect Redmayne, located in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is constructed from snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings, and the north walls are made of rubble sandstone. The church features a chamfered plinth and a Welsh slate roof. Its layout includes a nave with a north porch, paired south transepts, a narrower chancel, and a south vestry.

The entrance has a double door with ornamental wrought iron hinges set in a double-chamfered surround within a gabled porch. The church is adorned with lancet windows on the north side, triple lancets on the west with a sill string, and 2-light south windows with plate tracery, while the tall east window features geometric tracery. A gabled belfry is positioned at the north side of the west gable. The south chancel hall is notable for its very tall chimney stack with offsets.

Inside, the church has painted plaster with ashlar dressings and an arch-braced scissor-truss roof. There is a blind north arcade of four bays and a two-bay south arcade leading to the transepts, featuring double-chamfered arches supported by round columns or half-columns. The tall chamfered chancel arch has an inner arch resting on fluted brackets. Hood moulds are present above the arcades and entrances. The chancel includes World War I memorial panelling in Tudor style, listing the names of 252 parishioners who died. Additional features include a piscina with billet moulding above and a square font supported by pink marble shafts. The north porch has a boarded door with thick hinges. The upper lights of each window contain high-quality glass, along with one memorial window in the south chancel.
