The brick and stone built Allen Memorial Church https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6772871 was erected in 1903, as evidenced by the detailed stone plaque, by Howdon builder William Thomas Weir, one of the major contractors in the area at that time. He also built the Burn Closes Bridge, Wallsend Drill Hall and Tynemouth Conservative Club. The original spire was removed some years ago as it was unsafe and would have been too costly to replace. A stone plate on the west gable commemorates John Allen, one of the pioneers of the north-eastern Alkali trade.
