Geocache Description:


Church Micro 11790 - Gateshead Fell - St John’s




St John's Church, Gateshead Fell, is in Church Road, Sheriff Hill. It is an active Anglican Parish church in the deanery of Gateshead, the archdeaconry of Sunderland, and the Diocese of Durham. The church is designated Grade II listed building. It was a Commisioners Church having received a grant towards its construction from the Church Building Commission. The church stands at the highest point in Gateshead.

In 1809, the Enclosure Act decreed that there be a church built on Gateshead Fell and an acre of land was set aside for that purpose. A grant of £1,000 (equivalent to £80,000) was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission. Designed by John Ions, the foundation stone was laid by Rev. John Collinson, on Sour Milk Hill, on 13 May 1824. Building continued into the next year and the church was consecrated on 30 August 1825. The total cost was £2,742 (equivalent to £220,000). In the 1990s alterations were carried out at the rear of the church to create meeting rooms, toilets, and a kitchen.

St John's is constructed in ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. The plan of the church consists of a nave, a short chancel, and a west tower with a spire. The tower also has diagonal buttresses and an embattled parapet. The windows along the sides of the church are lancets. The two-manual organ was made by Harrison and Harrison. It replaced an organ made in about 1929 by Blackett and Howden, and was installed in 2000. The organ was formerly in St Aidan's Church, Blackhill, Consett.

This is a simple offset multi. Visit the church to gain the coords for the final which is a short distance away.
