Church Of Holy Saviour

The Church of Holy Saviour is a parish church located on Tynemouth Cross Way, built between 1839 and 1841 by architects John and Benjamin Green for the Duke of Northumberland. The chancel was added in 1884, and a west porch was constructed in the 20th century. The church is made of coursed squared sandstone with an ashlar plinth, dressings, and buttresses, while the vestry is made of snecked sandstone. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and features stone gable coping.

Architecturally, the church is designed in the Perpendicular style and includes a west tower, a nave with transepts, and a chancel that has a north vestry and porch, as well as a south organ chamber that now serves as a Lady chapel. The truncated tower has a one-storey porch beneath a three-light window, with slit windows in the upper stages and two-centred-arched belfry openings. The tall buttresses have offsets and a battlemented parapet. The nave has four bays with two-light windows, an eaves string, and a coped parapet, while the transepts feature three-light windows and the chancel has lancet windows. The east window is a four-light cusped design with a drip mould that includes foliage stops. Diagonal buttresses are present on the nave, transepts, and chancel, along with moulded kneelers and a cross finial on the chancel.

Inside, the church has plastered walls above a moulded painted plaster dado, with chamfered arches leading to the transepts, chancel, and Lady chapel. The nave roof is a Gothic-traceried hammer-beam design, while the chancel has a low-pitched king-post roof. The nave frieze features stencilled decoration. The reredos and chancel fittings are panelled and were created by W. S. Hicks. The stained glass includes works by Powell Bros. of Leeds in the south nave, Powell, Whitefriars, London, in the north transept, T.F. Curtis of Ward and Hughes, London, in the north nave, and various other artists in the south chancel and north nave, with good quality anonymous glass in the east windows of the transept.
