Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The Former St Cuthbert’s Church Complex site is located within land reserved for Church of England purposes in 1854 and occupied by St Cuthbert’s Church from 1855 until 1978. The site has been assessed as having moderate-high archaeological potential, with possible remains associated with occupation by St Cuthbert’s Church during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries: school building and dwelling (c.1855), stables, churches (1871) (1911), vicarage (c.1904), and church hall (1922).How is it significant?
The Former St Cuthbert’s Church Complex site is of aesthetic, archaeological, historical, and scientific significance at a local level.Why is it significant?
The site has been assessed as having moderate-high archaeological potential, with possible remains associated with occupation by St Cuthbert’s Church during the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries: school building and dwelling (c.1855), stables, churches (1871) (1911), vicarage (c.1904), and church hall (1922). While twentieth-century activities have undoubtedly resulted in subsurface disturbance (e.g. demolition/removal of structures, service emplacements, landscaping, roadworks), it seems likely that in situ nineteenth-century structural remains and associated deposits remain at the site.-
