A Grade I Listed Building in Norton North, Stockton-on-Tees

The Crossing, Norton Church

Uploader's Comments

This is the centre of the Saxon foundation. Norton is perhaps the only surviving Saxon cruciform church with a Tower between the Nave and Chancel, resting on piers connected by arches.

The North and South arches remain in their original condition, though each lost its inner order of stonework about 1190, when the arches to East and West were rebuilt to accord with a wider chancel and a longer nave.
