Stannington, Northumberland – St Mary the Virgin

Description
"....They found a Saxon gravestone, which would predate original foundations of circa 1190. It was in a state of disrepair and so a new church was built 1870/71, promoted by the 4th Baronet Ridley. It is built of Bassington dressed stone quarried locally, designed in the Early English style, with two Norman pillars and a Norman arch kept from the old church. In recent years a new kitchen and a couple of meeting rooms have been inserted at the back – inserted very well. The architect was R.J. Johnson (1832-1892) who did a lot of work in the Diocese. One of his other churches is Holy Saviour Milbourne – one of mine. He was architect for Newcastle Cathedral 1881-1892, and also designed the Armstrong Building for Newcastle University....." -
