All Saints Church
All Saints Church is situated on the brow of a steep bank, on the south side of Silver-street, at the foot of Pilgrim-street. It was erected on 1796, at a cost of £27,000, on the site of the former church of All Saints, which was erected previous to the year 1284, but the precise date is not known. It is an elliptical structure of 86 feet by 72, and in the Grecian Style of architecture, the spire having an elevation of 202 feet. This elegant edifice is constructed of freestone, and the pews are all formed of mahogany.

Hello.
I stumbled accross your amazing site earlier today while searching for photos of North Gosforth Cemetary. Sadly it seems that you have profiled every cemetary in Newcaslte except this one, is there a reason for this? and will you be publishing any photos in the near future? Meantime keep up the good work.
Hello and thanks for your kind words.
I'm sure the cemetery you mention is not the only one I have missed but I should get around to them all sooner or later.
Do you mean the cemetery on Hollywood Ave or is there another?
Let me know where the one you mean is and I will make it first on my list next time I'm around there.
I am an international student who moved to Newcastle in September and one of my first 'discoveries' was the All Saint's Church. I love the solemn eeriness of the attendant cemetery and the inside of the church is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Simply done, the ceiling alone I find much more pleasing than most over-done cathedral vaults. I hope others stumble upon this blog and the church itself.
Even though you can see the church from many places it is quite well hidden and well off the main path. I've lived in Newcastle all my life and I've never been inside the church. I will have to pay another visit to see if I can have a look around inside.
Some good night shots there Steve!
Thanks.
I don't normally do many night time shoots due to the camera I use but some of them turned out ok after a little processing.
