St Oswin's, Wylam
St Oswin's was built in 1886 to provide a church for the then rapidly growing mining town of Wylam. Money to endow the church was substantially donated by the sons of William Hedley who along with Timothy Hackworth and Christopher Blackett built Puffing Billy, the world's first practical railway locomotive in Wylam in 1814. It is a fine example of a Victorian church with very little of the original church changed.
