A BEAUTIFUL Church and Graveyard in Dalton-Le-Dale, Seaham

I made my first ever visit to this lovely church in the village of Dalton-Le-Dale, just outside Seaham.
It's the Church of St Andrew.

So sad 😞 Tough times indeed. My grandmother in Kidderminster lost her first husband to TB when their baby was six weeks old. She remarried my grandfather (from Sunderland) during WW2. Sadly, he died of kidney disease when my mother was a baby. Widowed twice by 23.

Lovely grounds around the church. It's from 1155 AD.

There’s a lovely old church, st James at castle Eden which has been sold to a developer. What happens to all the headstones ?

[@sundaynight1987]

Hi, if its a C of E church, there are normally restrictions on what the purchaser can do do the building, even more so if listed building and if its a closed burial ground certain legal requirements. The church at South Hylton was on sale and still might have the advert online showing the conditions.
