The church is Norman but has had several alterations and additions with inscribed dates of 1664 and 1699. In 1890 restoration of the interior was carried out. As West Hartlepool grew in population the number of churches grew and Stranton's role in the area diminished. | The church is Norman but has had several alterations and additions with inscribed dates of 1664 and 1699.
