St. Helen's Church, Low Fell, Gateshead
The Parish of Saint Helen owes its existence to the large population explosion experienced by industrial centres of the nineteenth century. Until then Low Fell had been but a small village on the Southern edge of Gateshead - coal mining being the principal occupation. The opening of the Gateshead to Durham Turnpike in 1827 served to put Low Fell on the map and many of the industrialists and merchants of Gateshead and Newcastle built large houses in the area, this being followed by a steady growth in population generally. Residents faced a stiff uphill climb to the local Parish Church of St. John at the top of Sheriff Hill.
The new Parish of St. Helen was formed by combining parts of the parishes of St. Mary, Gateshead, St. John, Gateshead Fell and St. Cuthbert, Gateshead. The entire cost of the Church - £13,000 - was met by Edward Joicey of Whinney House, Low Fell who was a partner in the firm of Joicey and Co., colliery owners. The original living was in the gift of Mr.Joicey of the net annual value of £300. The Church was consecrated on 29th August 1876.

St Helen, Low Fell
St Helen's, Low Fell, was consecrated in 1876 to serve a new parish and
built at the cost of Edward Joicey (colliery owner); this area was an
upcoming suburb where the wealthy industrialists and merchants of
Newcastle and Gateshead were building large houses. Today the area
appears little changed.
The church is in a "mature" churchyard (ie. you can't see it for
trees!) which, being an urban location and postdating the Burial Acts of
the middle of the 19th century, is not a burial ground. It is a very
well maintained and, I was told, well attended church.
It has four windows in the Nave by Morris & Co, three of them from
designs by Sir Edward Burne Jones.
