St Mary's Church, Gosforth, Norman church building in Gosforth, England
St Mary's Church features stone construction with graduated slate roofs, a gabled Victorian porch, and a bellcote positioned at the western end.
The church's foundation dates to 1150, with major reconstruction work completed by architect Charles John Ferguson between 1896 and 1899.
The interior of the church contains two Viking hogback stones from the early 11th century, discovered during late 19th-century restoration work.
The church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors interested in examining its architectural features and historical stone carvings.
A Chinese bell, captured during the Battle of the Bogue in 1841, was donated to the church in 1844 and remains on display.
