Description: | This photograph, taken in 1894 by Charles Taylor, was included in his book “Recollection of My Own Life and Times”. The building replaced an earlier church, with the foundation stone being laid on 23rd May 1821. The new church was four times larger than the old chapel it replaced and was consecrated on 7th August 1822. The church belonged to the parish of Jarrow with Heworth. In 1834 Reverend Matthew Plummer, the incumbent, asked for separation from Jarrow. He also asked for the tithes of Nether Heworth and Heworth common to supplement the ’living’ and was granted £123 per year. An old house, in which curates had lodged during the 18th century, was demolished and a new parsonage was built opposite the present lychgate. The schoolhouse was also enlarged. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.asaplive.com/Lco/Lco.cfm?ccs=629&cs=2674&Preview=1 | Publisher: | Gateshead Council | Rights holder: | Gateshead Council | Subjects: | Churches and Chapels Streets | Temporal: | name=Victorian; start=1837; end=1901; | Source: | iSee Gateshead | Creator: | Taylor, Charles | Identifier: | http://isee.gateshead.gov.uk/detail.php?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
