Church of St. Andrew churchyard

St Andrew’s Churchyard is a historic burial ground and an important green space in the centre of Newcastle. The graveyard, one of the oldest in the city, is home to many famous Victorian figures, including glass engraver Ralph Beilby. The leading 18th Century composer Charles Avison who spent most of his life in Newcastle is buried here too. The churchyard includes many large mature trees, and a wealth of old gravestones, some of which have been used to pave the walkways around it. Remnants of the late 13th Century town wall survive in the churchyard. LOCAL LIST
