All Saints Catholic Church Lanchester
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- The Parish of All Saints was founded by Canon Harris from the mother Church of St Michael's Esh Laude in 1901, and Catholics living in Lanchester prior to this date, faced the arduous task of having to travel to hear Mass at Esh. Most of them would have walked, but without the convenience of modern motor transport, it makes one think whether the pilgrims of today would have underttaken the same journey.The first church to be built in 1901 was a tin building which had previously served as a chapel at St Nicholas Asylum, Gosforth. near Newcastle upon Tyne.
