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.

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. |
