Opened on 17th October 1803. In 1831 there were 36 inmates. According to Thomas Oliver 'the accomodations are scarcely adequate in affording a comfortable asylum to so many objects of charity'. Each pauper cost 3s 9 1/4d per week. In 1839 the existing poor houses were replaced with a new purpose built workhouse on Westgate Hill (HER 6342).

Detached suburban villa, 1901 for Mrs Tate, to the designs of A.K. Tasker and S.M Mould of Newcastle and North Shields. Domestic Revival style with Arts and Crafts influences. Alterations in 1908, 1937 and later 20th century. In 1908 Gosforth Urban District Council approved a plan submitted by Mr WH Lloyd, Northumberland County Accountant, for changes to the villa called Manora - the addition of a bay window and a slight alteration to the rear. In 1937 the then owner, Mr G Harbottle of Rectory Terrace sought permission for a garage, pantry and stores. A new window was inserted above the lead-roofed bay window and two further first floor windows. These were in keeping with the Arts and Crafts character. Inside small bedrooms were created, lit by the new windows and the attic became a playroom. The architects were Cackett, Burns Dick & Mackellar.

This school was built by the church at the end of a street of houses. The site of the houses later became part of the pit timber yard. The date of opening is unknown. In January 1779 there was an advertisement for a school master in the Newcastle Journal. The census of 1851 lists a school mistress living in Sandygate near St. Cuthbert's Church. In 1870 the school master was Philip Blackman who lived in Sandygate. It must have been a boys only school until 1871. Mr. I Coates was school master 1870-1880. Mr W S Telford 1875-1877. Mr N G Maguire 1880-1882. Mr W Franklin 1882-1884. Lawrence Dewhurst from October 1884. An inspector's report of 1893 stated that the school is located in an angle between two colliery railways. The children had to cross these at the level crossing. The eastern line was at the bottom of a bank down which a child could slip. The school was on a slope that faced east. The floor is lower than the ground outside on the west side. There was a steep staircase from the school to the girl's offices. In the girl's yard there was a 'cliff' which was not protected by a fence. The ash-pit collects rain water from the yard so the floor was wet and muddy. There were no cloakrooms. There was no ventilation apart from the windows and a hole 2 inches in dimaeter in the roof.

When the new church (HER 16392) opened in 1876 the original temporary wooden church of 1869 became the school. 48 children attended. In July that year there was an outbreak of smallpox. In 1880 164 children were attending. On 14th October 1881 a storm destroyed the wooden building. Soon afterwards work started on the new school. The new building was opened on 5th January 1883. It cost £1600. One of the benefactors was the Marquis of Bute. In 1905 the school was extended to create 3 classrooms and a hall. The girls and boys playgrounds were separated by sheds.
