Description

A pointed arch, possibly 14th century in origin, which was reset in a cliff at the south end of Mowbray Park at an unknown date. Much of the arch is now buried but old photographs show the whole arch on this site. It is said to have come from Bishopwearmouth Rectory, which was demolished in the 19th century. LISTED GRADE 2
