More about this scene

This ancient church - originally Norman - is dedicated to St Cuthbert. Buried in its churchyard are the two ironmaster founders of Middlesbrough's original wealth - Henry Bolckow and his business partner John Vaughan. On display inside the church is the baptism register recording that the world-famous navigator and explorer Captain James Cook was christened here on 3 November 1728.
