Holy Cross Church Ruins Wallsend
The Church of the Holy Cross dates back to 1145AD and was built by the monks from Jarrow Priory using Roman stone taken from the nearby Hadrian's Wall. The church was used for public worship until 1798 after which time it became derelict, the stone foundations and graves were restored and steel railing erected around it with a locked Gate in 1909 to protect the site. (The Lock and Gate have long been missing)
