St Mary Magdalene Church is a Church of England parish church in the village of Hart, County Durham, England. It was founded in 675 AD and is the oldest church in Hartlepool.[1] The church is a Grade I listed building, with the tower dating back to the 13th century and the nave being from the 12th.
The existence of a church on the current site can be dated as far back as 675 AD and is thought to have been a wood structure that was later replaced with stone to include a chancel and aisle-less nave.[2]
