Roman Catholic Church of St Robert, Grade II listed Roman Catholic church in Morpeth, England
St Robert's Church is a brick building featuring Gothic elements such as pointed arches and stained glass windows by William Wailes that illuminate the interior. A handcrafted rood screen by local artisan Mr Manners completes the interior fittings.
Construction of the church began in 1848 with the foundation stone laid in August, and consecration took place in 1850. This completion marked an important milestone for the development of the town's Catholic community.
The church serves the Catholic community as a place for regular worship and important religious celebrations within the Hexham and Newcastle Diocese. It remains deeply woven into the religious life of the area.
The church sits on Oldgate Street overlooking the River Wansbeck with parking available nearby. It is easily accessible by public transportation and conveniently located for visitors from the surrounding area.
Renowned glass artist William Wailes created the stained glass windows specifically for this church, bringing a special luminosity to the interior. His craftsmanship from that period remains visible and admired by visitors today.
