Description
The Church of St Stephen is a parish church located on Brunel Terrace in Newcastle upon Tyne. It was built in 1868 by architect Johnson and was declared redundant on January 1, 1984. The church is constructed of snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings.
Architecturally, it is designed in the Decorated style and includes an aisled nave, a north-west tower, a low west porch, a north transept, and a chancel with a north aisle. The three-stage tower above the aisle has triple belfry openings, a corbel table, and battlements, along with corner flying buttresses leading to a tall octagonal stone spire that has lucarnes. The west porch features shafts and label strings around a square-headed central window and flanking doors. The high aisle windows are boarded up on the north and west sides, while the south side has windows with bar tracery. The larger east window is also boarded up. The roofs of the nave and aisles are steeply pitched.
Inside, the church has been stripped of much of its original interior, but it still contains alabaster memorials dedicated to members of the Cruddas family and a mosaic after Holman Hunt's "Light of the World," which commemorates Rev. Joseph Duncan, who served as vicar from 1901 to 1911. The glass has been removed from the windows.
