Churches which still retain west gallery features or connections |
|
| *Durham, St Mary-le-Bow | The church was rebuilt in 1685, and the tower in 1703,but the whole appears mediaeval in style. Much 18th C, woodwork, including the Gallery, which was constructed in 1741. The church stands immediately at the east end of the Cathedral, and is now a museum. |
|
Haughton-le-Skerne, St Andrew |
Haughton is now a suburb of Darlington, but was once a village on its own. The church contains much woodwork of Bishop Cosin's time, including box-pews, font-cover, reading desk and pulpit, all identical in design. The interior is that of an ancient church furnished in post-Reformation manner, although not necessarily with west gallery connections. ?? |
| Redmarshall, St Cuthbert | Much Norman work, and with box-pews. Date?? |

Chapels which still retain west gallery features or connections |
|
| Ireshopeburn, High House Chapel | |
| Gibside Chapel | Situated in the grounds of Gibside Hall, itself
now in ruins. The architect was James Paine, and the chapel, built in 1760, was
originally intended as the Mausoleum for the Bowes family. However, in 1812 it
was refitted as a chapel, and has remained unchanged since that date. A fine
three-decker pulpit stands behind the altar, and there are fine box-pews of
excellent workmanship, the whole being a perfect example of
pre-Tractarian
arrangement, remarkable for the quality of both design and material. Now the property of The National Trust. |
