Newcastle - Saint John

The Church of St John the Baptist, Grainger Street/Westgate Road was built in the thirteenth century and the pinnacled tower added some two hundred years later. The tower rises directly from the pavement of Grainger Street.

This parish consisted of the townships of Benwell, Elswick, St John and Westgate. The last two were part of the city and county of Newcastle, and all of these areas are now within the City of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
