Description: | A north-west view of the newly built Church of St Margaret at Crossgate in Durham. This had been a site of worship since the tenth century. Built in 1749, this was the third church here. The previous building had been undermined, literally, by its curate, who hoped to make a private profit from his tunnelling activities. He was stopped by legal decree, but the damage was already done, and this church had to be built in its place. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Samuel Hieronymus Grimm | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
