The parish of Seaham was created from the ancient Parish of Dalton le Dale and has a Norman church. The dedication of the church was changed from that of St Andrew to St Mary the Virgin and the parish became known as Seaham Harbour. There are references to the church dating back to 1501 although the building shows signs of much earlier construction. | The parish of Seaham was created from the ancient Parish of Dalton le Dale and has a Norman church.
