Description
The walls, gates, and railings surrounding St Mary's Churchyard date from the late 18th century and early 19th century. They are constructed partly of brick and partly of stone, featuring stone coping that supports spearhead wrought iron railings with iron stays. The structure includes five pairs of sturdy rusticated piers, each topped with cornices and ball finials, which hold wrought iron gates. Additionally, there are vernacular rusticated retaining walls located to the south-east.
Historically, Church Street was created in 1790 to provide a better gradient than Bottle Bank, but all the buildings along it, except for the church, were removed when the new Tyne Bridge was constructed between 1927 and 1929.
