Church of St Oswald, Medieval church building in City of Durham, England
St Oswald Church features Norman architectural elements, stained glass windows, and a western gallery housing a Peter Collins organ from 1984.
Founded in 1101, the church underwent substantial modifications in 1834 by architect Ignatius Bonomi and later renovations by Hodgson Fowler in 1864.
The church contains stained glass windows designed by Morris & Co, with panels by Ford Madox Brown, along with works by Kempe and Clayton and Bell.
Located on Church Street at coordinates 54.7714, -1.57274, the church remains active within the benefice of the Three Saints in the Diocese of Durham.
A fire in 1984 led to the destruction of the original organ, resulting in the installation of a new instrument based on specifications by organist David Higgins.
