Church

The Village of West Herrington is about four-and-a-half miles west-south-west of Sunderland. Here is a Chapel of Ease, dedicated to St. Cuthbert, a small neat building, in the Gothic style, erected in 1840, and contains about 200 sittings, the whole of which are free and unappropriated. This and Newbottle Church are attended by the Rev. George Snowdon, one of the curates of Houghton-le-Spring. There is a parochial school attached to the chapel. Miss Ellen Armstrong, teacher.
