Church of St Cuthbert RC, Cowpen
The Roman Catholic church of St Cuthbert in Cowpen, Blyth, Nothumberland, is located off Cowpen Road (A193). The Sidney Family came to Cowpen Hall in 1804 where Catholic Mass was provided by a French priest. Later Mass moved to Cowpen Grove House, but this became too small due the growth of the Catholic community associated with the influx of Irish immigrants who came to work at the Bedlington Iron Works. Marlow J Sidney converted an old cow byre to be used as the first church at Cowpen and this became part of a wider Benedictine mission established in 1836.[1] The church was remodelled by John Dobson in 1840. The church is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
