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.
