All Saints Stranton is an ancient parish including Brierton and Seaton Carew. In 1841 Seaton Carew formed a chapelry and in 1859 Christ Church West Hartlepool was formed within the Stranton parish.  


As West Hartlepool grew in population the number of churches grew and Stranton's role in the area diminished.
