Church of St Michael with St Lawrence, Avondale Road, Byker - Newcastle upon Tyne

Parish church built in1862-3 to the design of WL Moffat. A north aisle and vestry were added in 1936. The building has suffered from roof leaks, general dampness and heritage crime. Urgent repairs were completed in 2013, followed by a supplementary phase of repairs funded through a National Lottery Heritage Fund Grant for Places of Worship. Works to transform the building into a youth and community hub (The Lighthouse Project) have started on site with funding from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s Youth Investment Fund and donations from Lord Crewe Trust and The Squires Foundation
