Wat Phra Dhammakaya


Former Church of St Andrew in Hebburn, now a Buddhist meditation centre. The church was originally built in 1872 paid for by Andrew Leslie, whose shipbuilding firm dominated Hebburn in the 19th Century. The tall spire makes the building a prominent landmark. It is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
