Sunderland Minster

(The Minster Church of St Michael & All Angels, with St Hilda & Benedict Biscop ) 

- situated at the heart of the ancient parish of Bishopwearmouth

Welcome to these pages - it is not presented as an 'Official View', (which is  at www.sunderlandminster.org ) 

 Click the Church picture below, left, to access  the main site      

         This site also covers something of the extensive history of this well-loved church. Chiefly is it intended to show that the building still houses a strong church and community which aims to welcome everyone .

       The text for both the Rectors page and also the History page is not my work and I acknowledge with gratitude the authors of both pieces. They have given me immense pleasure in reading both pieces, and I have no hesitation in introducing their work to other readers. 

The "Rectors"  and "Tour"  pages have also been  enhanced with  images presented in various styles. The photographs are my own efforts: I hope that they add to enjoyment of these pages

Visit these and the other pages in this section by clicking the names at the top of those pages -- but first click on the picture, above left, to enter the site proper.

Please note the page for the  Prayer Book Society, (PBS) , a society with which I am an strong supporter and member
