A very pleasant church, hidden away to the side of City Road - Newcastle Upon Tyne. Consecrated in 1768, it is built on the site of a medieval Chapel. The stone used to build the church was taken from sections of the City Walls which ran alongside the Quayside. The churchyard was the last in the City to be closed for burials and contains a mass grave of those who died from the last great cholera epidemic.
