St. Hilda's Church

Heart of the Headland

St Hilda’s is the parish church of the Headland, a unique part of Hartlepool which is physically quite separate from the rest of the town. The church is just one part of a rich local history which you can still see today.

A warm welcome awaits

If you have never visited Hartlepool please do so and visit our beautiful sacred space that is St Hilda’s on the Headland. Centuries of worship and prayers are steeped into her masonry.

As a church family we are planning to reach out into the community and further afield, building new relationships, new projects, and new initiatives thanks to the Lottery Grant that St. Hilda’s has been recently awarded.

Please join us if you can on these exciting new adventures! Pop in for a cuppa and cake. Take a look around. Sit in silence and awe.

God Bless
