Roman Catholic Church of St Robert, Grade II listed Roman Catholic church in Morpeth, England
The church's Gothic architecture features pointed arches, stained glass windows by William Wailes, and a rood screen crafted by local artisan Mr Manners.
Construction of St Robert's Church began in 1848, with its foundation stone laid in August and the consecration ceremony performed by William Hogarth in 1850.
The church maintains regular Catholic services and functions as a central gathering point for religious celebrations within the Hexham and Newcastle Diocese.
Located on Oldgate Street overlooking the River Wansbeck, the church provides parking facilities and remains accessible through local transportation networks.
The total construction cost in 1849 was £2,400, with the parish priest Father Lowe personally contributing £1,004 toward the building project.
