Church of St Chad, Rawling Road, Gateshead - Gateshead
St Chad's is cruciform in plan with a large octagonal tower at its centre. Designed by the architect William Searle Hicks, it was consecrated in 1903. The slated roof coverings are approaching the end of their serviceable life and there is some water ingress internally. The roofs of the nave and tower were replaced in 2016 through funding from a Listed Places of Worship Roof Repairs Grant, and funding in 2021 from the National Churches Trust allowed further re-roofing works. Funding options are currently being explored for the repair of the remaining roofs.
