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.

Gray says that the house of the Bishop of Carlisle was probably located on this street.

Gray describes St. John's as "a pretty little church… in this Parish the Earles of Westmerland had his House, as others, good Benefactors to this Towne". Bourne records that next to St. Mary's Hospital (HER 1502) there was a very old magnificent building, lived in by Sir Robert Shaftoe and later Mr Charles Clark, Junior. The house was built by the Baron of Bywell and Bolbeck in the reign of Edward III (1327-77). About the same time he built a defensive house "within the bounds of the castle" called Bolbeck Hall. The founders of this house was made Earl in the reign of Richard II in the year 1398. Ralph Nevil, Lord of Raby, became Earl Marshall, so the house was named Westmoreland Place in Westgate. Some have conjectured that Sir Robert Shaftoe's house was part of it.
