South chancel chapel second window by Michael Healey. East window by Bacon Bros. {1}. Built to replace the medieval church of Holy Cross which stands 1/2 mile to the north-west. The church was built on a field called Three Nooked Close owned by a Mrs Waters. The foundation stone was laid on November 10th 1807. On April 27th 1809 the church was dedicated to St. Peter and the burial ground consecrated. In 1830 two additional side galleries were added 'to be free and appropriated forever for the use of the poor'. In 1833 a schoolhouse was built on the north side of the churchyard and extended in 1874 and 1905. The font from Holy Cross church was found in Wallsend Burn in the 1800s and taken to Carville Hall. Mr Wigham Richardson gave it to the church in 1891. A rectory was built behind the church in 1852. In 1892 the tower was altered. The interior of the church was gutted, the seating arrangements dramatically changed, windows taken out and the roof and spire removed. The church has the largest single collection of Irish glass in England. The churchyard was the burial place for 75 miners killed in the Heaton Disaster of 1815 and 102 miners killed in the Wallsend Colliery Disaster of 1835 {3}.
