Background
History
During the Reformation the Catholics in Berwick and the surrounding area were served by Jesuit priests who were based in Berrington and Haggerston. In 1799, two French Catholic priests, escaping the French Revolution, were resident in Berwick in a property bought for them by the Sir John Haggerston. They celebrated Mass in a chapel next to the house. In 1810, they were replaced by Benedictine priests.
Architecture
The Benedictine priests, with the Haggerston Baronets, bought the site of the current church. It was built to have a capacity of 300 people. On 25 June 1829, it opened. The old priest house became a school. In 1852, the church was given a painting of the Agony in the Garden by a local man, James Grieve, who was originally given the painting by King Charles X of France. In the 1880s, the church was extended, doubling in size. The current chancel and north window were built. The school building was replaced by St Cuthbert's School, which later moved and the building became the parish centre.
