History of Seaton Delaval

Seaton Delaval Timeline

The Church of Our Lady lies within the grounds of Seaton Delaval Hall, just off The Avenue which runs between Seaton Sluice and Seaton Delaval. The church was built by Hubert de Laval and dedicated in 1102 by Bishop Flambard, of Durham. It was the private chapel of the Delaval family. Its chancel, choir and nave are separated by Norman arches and a blocked up window and stonework in the north wall of the nave are suggestive of pre-Norman origins.

Seaton Delaval Hall is an 'English Baroque' style country house located between Seaton Sluice and Seaton Delaval in Northumberland. The Hall was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1718 for Admiral George Delaval, both of whom had died before the building was completed in 1728.  On completion, the Admiral's nephew Francis Blake Delaval (the elder) inherited the property, and took up residence.

The war memorial in Seaton Delaval was unveiled on the 2nd of September 1922 by Mr. John Charlton, Headmaster of Schools in Seaton Delaval, dedicated by Dr. Wild, Bishop of Newcastle, and blessed by Canon W.E. Jackson. The memorial is inscribed with the names of 73 local servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War. The obelisk was paid for by public subscription, and sculpted by DW Forster of North Shields; and the railings enclosing the monument were wrought by Hosley Bros, Iron Founders of North Shields. The memorial was initially located by the railway station on a site donated by the Seaton Delaval Coal Company. The memorial was moved later.
