Information

• In 1207 King John confirmed Hartburn to
  Tynemouth Priory. In 1255 Henry III gave it to
  St. Albans to provide the monks and their guests
  with a competent supply of 'bread and ale'.
  Skeletons in the tower forensically dated
  pre-1100 suggest Waltheof as donor and Tynemouth
  Priory as builder. Two daggers above a Maltese
  Cross on the doorpost tell of a Knights Templar
  Preceptory here in 1250 and the early English
  architecture speaks of little subsequent change.
  Of special interest are the Masons' marks, carved
  heads, fish, Napoleonic banners and Florintine
  lamps. The light airiness of the building
  contributes to its frequent description -'
  serenity', 'peacefulness'. The churchyard
  contains many fascinating memorial stones from
  1693.
