St Andrew and St George
Stockon-on-Tees, County Durham
St Peter’s is a Grade II* listed building. It was built in Victorian red brick in 1881 with a significant square tower added in 1906. Planning is traditional with a nave, flanked to the north and south by colonnaded aisles. Exposed smooth metal faced brickwork is ribbon pointed internally and the main roof timbers are exposed in the high ceiling.
Oak panelling is used extensively in the chancel and for certain other features. The aisle/nave colonnades are of Caen stone with bases and nicely carved capitals. The pulpit is also of Caen stone with carved decoration. The nave seating is mostly of varnished pine pews but some have been replaced by chairs to enable a flexible space at the west end.
An improved, accessible entrance has recently been constructed under the north tower. The church is undergoing a reordering project to better serve its congregation and local community. We have many varies activities for worship and community mission during the week and hold other concerts and events throughout the year.
