St. Ignatius the Martyr is an ecclesiastical parish, formed from that of St. Paul, Hendon, in 1889: the church, in Suffolk street, erected in 1888-89, at a cost of £9,100, was the gift to the town of Dr. Lightfoot, late Bishop of Durham, and was consecrated July 2, 1889: it is a building of stone in the Early English style, from designs by Mr. C. Hodgson Fowler F.S.A. of Durham, and consists of chancel, nave of five bays, aisles, vestry, organ chamber, side chapel, south-west porch and a tower with spire: a reredos was added in 1893, and there are sittings for 750 persons.
