The Mass, at 1400 hrs every Sunday, is Celebrated by Fr. David Smith, who used to say Latin Masses at Catterick Garrison.

The Church of Saint Mary and Saint Romuald is an interesting one, designed by George Goldie, the architect who designed Saint Wilfrid’s Church, York (The York Oratory).

Saint Mary and Saint Romuald is a Catholic Parish Church in Yarm, North Yorkshire, England. Administratively, it is part of the Diocese of Middlesbrough.

The Church of Saint Mary and Saint Romuald is located on land that was at one time attached to the Black Friars Monastery, which was founded at Yarm in 1260.[1]


The Parish originated as a Domestic Chaplaincy to the Meynell family. In 1860, the Parish received its own free-standing Church,[2] a gift from Thomas Meynell to his wife. 

The Church is Dedicated to Our Lady of York, Mother of Mercy, and Saint Romuald, Abbot and Monastic Founder.

Saint Romuald was born in Ravenna, a favourite holiday resort of the Meynells.[3]


The Church was designed by Hadfield and Goldie of Sheffield. It is constructed of Red Brick, with a Slate Roof, and is “a well-detailed example of the use of structural polychromatic brickwork, popular in the 1860s”.[4]

The East Window was designed by John Hardman Powell of Hardman & Co.

The Church is a Grade II-Listed building,[5] as it “represents a relatively early and little altered Church” by the Catholic architect George Goldie.[6]
