Background
History
The church, the parish church of South Shields is said to be on the site of a chapel founded by Aidan of Lindisfarne circa AD 647 and placed in the charge of Hilda of Whitby. Some restoration work was carried out in 1675 by Robert Trollope. In 1753 a north aisle was added to the church. It was then mostly rebuilt between 1810 and 1881 and the interior galleries are supported on cast-iron columns. The rebuilding of the church incorporated the font of 1675 by Robert Trollop, and a gilt chandelier dating from 1802. The church is most famous for the model of a lifeboat by William Wouldhave dating from 1802 which is suspended from the ceiling.
