Tynemouth in 1147. In 1650 The Church Commissioners recommended the
Church be included within a Parish including Blyth Neuk, Newsham and
Cramlington. A memorial stone to Anne Barbowle (Anne Harbottle) 1517
is set into the South wall, evidently this is a tombstone, a thin
slab with name and pair of shears inscribed. Bell dates from 1621,
the Church has an eighteenth Century sun dial. |
