Standing proudly on Hartlepool Headland, St Hilda’s Church is one of the town’s most treasured landmarks. Built on the site of the 7th-century monastery founded by St Hilda of Whitby, the present church dates largely from the 12th century, with later additions reflecting centuries of devotion and architectural evolution. Overlooking the modern marina and bustling port, St Hilda’s connects Hartlepool’s deep Christian heritage to its maritime and industrial present.
Captured from above, this stunning aerial image highlights the church’s distinctive Norman architecture, its robust stonework contrasting beautifully with the surrounding graveyard and the vivid backdrop of Hartlepool’s waterfront. The crisp light and clear skies bring out the fine detail of the roofline, windows and setting, creating a striking print that reflects both history and the vibrancy of this coastal town.
