Church of Our Lady, Seaton Delaval, Seaton Valley - Northumberland (UA)

Originally the private chapel of the Delaval family, the church has a short and tall nave, lower chancel and west porch. It dates from the early-C12 but may incorporate earlier fabric. Structural movement has been monitored since 1998. Some remedial work was completed in 2017 with funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund Grants for Places of Worship scheme. With a grant from the Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund, drains were installed to south and west sides and the doorway repaired. External repointing, particularly to the north wall, is becoming increasingly urgent.
