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. In August 2023 St Hilda’s received £70,000 in development funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of a two stage process.
