Description: | St. Michael's Church, Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland, about 1890. A stone church has been on this site since the 10th century. The present building is believed to be of Norman foundation, although the first recorded rector is not until 1214. There has been considerable rebuilding over the years especially in the 1800s and the 1950s, so little of what is seen today is medieval. On 11 January 1998, St. Michael's Church became the Minster Church of St. Michael and All Angels. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | religion living in the North East buildings and views Sunderland | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
