Church of St Peter, Anglican church in Wallsend, England.
The Church of St Peter stands on Church Bank with a traditional stone exterior and notable architectural elements typical of English ecclesiastical design.
The church was constructed after 1807 to replace the deteriorating Holy Cross Church from 1150, with major modifications completed in 1892.
The interior contains stained glass windows created by the Tower of Glass movement, depicting various scenes from Christian narratives.
The former chancel now functions as a rentable community space for local groups, with direct access from the main roads of Wallsend.
The church preserves a medieval font rescued from a stream after the abandonment of Holy Cross Church, previously used by Jarrow monks.
