Chester-le-Street – St Cuthbert
-
Description
A good, well-detailed Neo-Romanesque design of the early twentieth century, about which information is surprisingly elusive. Chester-le-Street was the site of the shrine of St Cuthbert before the translation of the saint’s body to Durham, hence the dedication....A neo-Romanesque church of 1910, stone-built and with a slate roof, with a contemporary presbytery, also stone-built, to the east. The building is architecturally ambitious, but information about its designer is elusive. It consists of a five-bay nave with narrow circulation aisles, western narthex and baptistery, south porch and apsidal sanctuary. The design is strongly articulated, with great piers marking the bay divisions. The western bay of the nave is raised on both the north and south sides.... -
