Description
Charming linear arrangement of stables (to north, facing onto Village East), a coach house, a two-storey dwelling and a single storey cottage. The interiors have been gutted. The single storey cottage (south end of complex) has a reused stone lintel over the front door inscribed on the right hand side with the initials WL and the date 1787. In the centre of the lintel is an inscribed circle with the same initials IWL and the date 1662. Inside it has one room, open to the eaves, with a fireplace. The two storey dwelling has stone lintels and cills, two windows on the ground floor to either side of the front door and one smaller central window above. The former coach house is two storeys. Round-arched cart opening at ground floor and a loading window above with fixing for a hoist. The stables are two storey (hayloft above). Drainage channels survive in the floor of the stables. Double wooden doors have been inserted. Rainwater goods and roofs have been replaced. Until 2013 these buildings were owned by Gateshead Council and used as stores, staff room and site office. Presumably these buildings were associated with the 'big house' next door (now The Lawns, HER 7639).

Description
The cemetery (HER 5285) opened in 1857 with buildings probably by Johnstone and Knowles. This lodge is not listed but it is similar to the listed east and west lodges. Coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings. Welsh slate roof. One storey with attic space. Leaded windows. 2 decorative chimneys. Nasty ?1970s kitchen and bathroom extension. Very poor condition - looks like there has been fire damage. In 2013 this is being renovated for residential use.

Description
In 2007 the administrator of the Minster confirmed that there is documentation in the church records which state that when the churchyard became an area of open space circa 1956, the gravestones were moved and used to create a pathway and the graves were lifted and reinterred elsewhere. The whole churchyard was dug over and planted. Stray bones may have been left behind in this process.

Two former farm cottages now just inside the Manorfields Estate. A third was demolished in the 1990s to widen Whitley Road. The cottages belonged to Benton Farm. They do not appear on the 1842 tithe map but they are on the Ordnance Survey map of 1897. They are presently owned by Newcastle University but are up for sale. Charming pair of dwellings built in brick with slate roof. Two chimneys. 1 storey plus attic space with dormer windows to both sides. Front doors in porches with pitched slate roofs. Brick quoins. Curved headed window openings with replacement timber windows. Attractive stone boundary wall to front garden. The porches and extensions to the rear were added in the 1940s and possibly the dormers. In the 1990s new larger flat roofed kitchen extensions replaced the smaller earlier extensions. The gable end wall of the central cottage had to be strengthened and was cement rendered and modern brick quoins added. Inside few historic features survive. The living space was probably once two rooms. One Victorian cast iron fireplace survives in a bedroom of No. 1. In the same bedroom is a pretty cupboard with panelled arched door. Cottages demolished 2014 to make way for 5 houses and garages.
