Photographs Of Newcastle: St Anns Church

St. Ann's Church in City Road, Newcastle, was consecrated in 1768. There has been a church on this site since medieval times. The present church was largely built with stone from the City Walls. The churchyard is among the last within the city to be closed for burials and is the resting place of many who died in the last great cholera epidemic.

A great history of the church is available at St Ann's website here.
