All Saints Church, Cleadon


"Originally the village of Cleadon formed part of the parish of Whitburn (it’s larger neighbour to the east at the coast). In the mid nineteenth century Cleadon had started to grow and the villagers desired their own place of worship that they did not have to walk to. Permission was given by the Bishop of Durham to build a church in Cleadon. It was to have a seating capacity of 100. The site was obtained through a legacy and in 1866 the foundation stone was laid by Richard Shortbridge JP of Cleadon Meadows. The completed building was dedicated on March 31 1869 as a Chapel of Ease." (Church Website)
