The RC church of the Sacred Heart, North Gosforth is a Grade II listed building with an interesting and unusual history, having been built originally as an Anglican church. The pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows in the church were designed mainly by Edward Burne-Jones, with contributions from Ford Madox Brown and William Morris and constitute one of the best collections of stained-glass from the William Morris Company in the North of England.

Centenary of our Parish

bought the building from the Gosforth Park Estate. We want to celebrate
this year with you, and are asking for ideas on how best to mark this
anniversary. You can find out more on our new web page about the Centenary
