Description: | All Saints was the merchants' church of Newcastle and wealthy businessmen and their families lived all around it. They worshipped at the church and made gifts of silver such as this flagon to enhance its importance and advertise their own status and influence. In the late 18th century the parish of All Saints had more communicants than any other parish in England. Their magnificent silver communion service would have been in almost constant use. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion North East makers metalwork living in the North East craft art designers made in the North East makers date period | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
