Parish History[edit | edit source]
STRANTON (All Saints), a parish, in the union of Stockton, N division of Stockton ward, S division of the county of Durham. The Wesleyans have a place of worship.[1]
Additional information:
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.
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.
