St Stephen's Church, Low Elswick, Gothic Revival church tower in Low Elswick, England
The remaining tower of St Stephen's Church features three stages with triple bell openings, a corbel table, and a battlemented parapet topped by an octagonal spire.
Sir William Armstrong laid the foundation stone in November 1866, and Bishop Charles Baring dedicated the completed church structure in 1868.
The Cruddas family funded multiple elements of the church, including the tower, spire, north aisle vestry, west porch, and eight bells cast by Taylor of Loughborough.
The base of the tower requires advance appointments for visits, and the site maintains limited facilities under the Churches Conservation Trust management.
Following the 1984 redundancy declaration, the main church section underwent demolition due to dry rot in 1988, preserving only the sandstone tower structure.
