Parish of Monkwearmouth

Parish of Monkwearmouth

The Parish of Monkwearmouth is a civil and Church of England parish in Monkwearmouth, England, served by three churches. These are St Peter's, All Saints and St Andrew's.

History

The parish was originally only served by St Peter's, but new parishes of All Saints and St Andrew were split off from it in 1844 and 1906 respectively owing to urban expansion in the area. These parishes were later reunited to the parish of Monkwearmouth, which now includes all three churches.
