Ponteland Church, Northumberland, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Ponteland Church, Northumberland, 1854. Church of St Mary the Virgin, ...built, probably, in the early part of the thirteenth century, although its tower betokens an earlier date, in its Norman doorway entering from the west. The body of the Church is in a mixed style of architecture - Gothic, Transitional, Florid, Venetian, and bad Modern...Few persons can fail to have remarked the dank and cavernous appearance of the walls of churches in rural districts; indicating dampness and other unhealthy conditions of such edifices...The interior has hitherto been, like too many of our country churches, damp, cold, unaired, with walls discoloured by the grass outside; and the woodwork decayed, and sending off offensive odours....the earth was removed from the walls outside, and a most effectual drainage carried out...Stoves and flues have been introduced...[for heating]'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
