Description
Carving of arms, in stone, of Nathaniel Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham and another of the arms of the town of Newcastle. Two sculptured panels from Pilgrim's Yard, Pilgrim Street. Originally from the old ruined Tyne Bridge (the bishop's arms was from the tower with the Portcullis at south end of bridge, the newcastle arms was from the tower with the portcullis which stood on the pier between arches 3 and 4 from the north), and built first into alderman Hornby's garden wall - he had premises at 135 and 137 Pilgrim Street. The property later passed to Mr Anthony Clapham, who carefully removed the stones and placed the arms over the porter office of Brumell & Gilpin. Date - contemporary with the town arms ie. 1646. Motto on Newcastle arms: "Fortiter defendit triumphans 1646 inches Now both in Castle Keep.

Description
On the north side of Westgate Road, next to St. John's Church, was the vicarage - the dwelling house for the vicars of Newcastle. It was said to be situated in fields and gardens, set back from the street. The town of Newcastle may have built the house for the clergy. It was repaired and enlarged in 1694 by the Rev. and worthy Dr Ellison, the then vicar. There was a hall attached to the house which was built in a grand and stately manner. It was where the vicars entertained minor officers of the church - the clerks, sextons etc at Christmas. The house had a garden full of flowers. Hadrian's Wall was said to run through the garden. The old vicarage of St John’s church is thought to have been badly damaged by the siege of 1644 or the subsequent Scottish occupation. An order of the Common Council dated 24/9/1649 took measures to “save the harmless Dr Robert Jennison from dilapidations concerning the Vicarage House”. Mackenzie suggests that the building he knew was built shortly after that time. It was repaired and enlarged by Dr Ellison in 1694. There was a hall in it in Bourne’s time, described as “very grand and stately”. The house was very deficient in 1826.

Shown on Ordnance Survey Second Edition. The central stone block of the school was designed by John Dobson. It was built 1850-51 as a replacement hall for the Barber Surgeons, whose old hall in the Manors was demolished for Manors Station. From 1851-1857 it housed one of the two rival medical colleges that were formed from the old college at the old Barber Surgeons Hall. In 1857, this college merged with its rival, moving to their building off Neville Street. The Barber Surgeons sold the building for St Pauls' Church of England School in 1862.
