Description
This is a Presbyterian, now United Reformed, church built in 1872 by R J Johnson of Newcastle. It was originally a gift from Andrew Leslie, a prominent figure in the 19th-century shipbuilding industry in Hebburn. The building is a prominent landmark at the top of the river valley, formerly known as the Church of St Andrew.
Constructed from coursed sandstone rubble with Welsh slate roofs, the church features a nave and transepts, a west entrance porch, and a north-west tower. It is designed in the Decorated Gothic style. The porch has three crocketed gables, the central one being tall with a bud finial and marble shafts flanking a double door. The east gable contains a large round window with spoked detailing. The transepts have windows of two lights, and a large ten-foiled round window features above. The nave is broad, with five bays. The very tall and slender tower has substantial decorative elements, including tall crocketed gablets to the belfry openings and marble shafts.
Inside, the church has a semicircular, panelled wooden ceiling that rises from ornate, shafted corbels.
