Visit to Holy Trinity Church

This was my first visit and hopefully not my last, its a shame its now closed. I was happy to learn that their plans to refurbished and hopefully reopen. This church stands in old Sunderland town in the east end.

Holy Trinity opened its doors for the first time in 1719 and closed it doors as a church in 1988 it is now owned by the churches conservation trust, the trust allow it to be open on special occasions.

The Fireplaces of Belsay Hall & Castle

Belsay Hall has belonged to The Middleton Family since the early 1800's (Owners of The Castle). The family resided here until 1962 when it was given to English Heritage.

The completion of the hall and gardens was largely due to the eccentric Sir Charles Monck who designed the house in Greek Revival style after a visit to Athens loosely based upon The Temple of Theseus. The Quarry Gardens present a mixture of wild and cultivated plants, and also boast two very well protected species within the world of the wildlife - Red Squirrels & Brown Long Eeared Bats.
