A new church is in the course of erection here, the foundation stone of which was laid by the Marchioness of Londonderry on the 13th August, 1855. The situation of the structure is pleasant in itself, and highly convenient with reference to its intended purpose. The site selected for it is part of a piece of fine, dry pasture land on the north side of the road way connecting New and Old Seaham, and directly opposite the colliery there. It will be an edifice in the decorated style, with nave, chancel, and side aisles, and adapted to contain between 400 and 500 sittings, the whole of which will be free and unappropriated. The architect is P.C. Hardwicke, Esq., London, and the builder Mr. Robert Robson, of Durham. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 641.]
