St Andrew's Church

Reviewed By CaddySpoon123

This gem is tucked away in a suburb of a small couny durham seaside resort..It would not be out of place in any of our great cities.A successfull local shipping magnat john Priestman decided to give his local area a veritable arts and crafts cathedral.The main architect was E.SPrior and a veritable whos who of leading arts and crafts figures were involved in its decoration including Ernest Gimson,eric gill even the carpet was commissioned from the william morris company.The highlight aisthe mural ceiling in the chancel by Gills brotherMacDonald.The church looks modern with a strong hint in my mind of charles Rennie Macintoshs church at Queens Cross Glasgow. Go see it

Keel Square

Reviewed By Lisabu0201 - Sunderland, United Kingdom

It's not a bad place, as it's tidied Sunderland town up. Although they spent all that money there is pretty much nothing there.. a town square you expect something to be there not just a fountain. Could add something there but time will tell.
