Church of St Hilda, High Street, Hartlepool Headland, Headland - Hartlepool (UA)
Built on an exposed site near the sea c1200, on the site of a C7 monastery, incorporating the remains of an early C12 church. The church includes Saxon and medieval architectural fragments and has undergone several re-designs, being fully restored between 1925 and 1932. Continued structural movement of the tower; missing roof flashings causing dampness in walls and timber roofs. Masonry decay and clerestory ferramenta severely corroded. The building has been the subject of heritage crime. Funding is being explored after an unsuccessful bid in 2017 to the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
