Designed by FRN Haswell. Built in 1875 for Edward Shotton (steamship owner, alderman, magistrate, River Tyne Commissioner, Ottoman Vice Consul). Other occupants were his wife Mary Alice Shotton, their daughter Helen, Elizabeth Fawcus the cook, Margaret Bell housemaid, Esther Graham laundry maid and Margaret Davison seamstress. The villa is in a Queen Anne style influenced by architect Butterfield. Built in local mottled red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings. The main entrance framed by Doric columns is on the east elevation, as is the three-storey tower. The tower has lancet and paired round-headed windows and a bracketed cornice below a classical balustrade on the top storey.

A war memorial was unveiled in 1990. The memorial is 31 inches high, 48 inches long and 22 inches wide and takes the form of a table formed of sandstone slabs. A granite panel has a regimental badge (a red anchor and the letters R & A) in the top left corner. "TO THE GLORIUS MEMORY OF THE MEN OF THE 3RD REGIMENT MARITIME ROYAL ARTILLERY WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AT SEA DEFENDING ALLIED MERCHANT SHIPPING 1940-1945. THE REGIMENT WAS BASED HERE AT PRESTON TOWERS AND SERVED ITS COUNTRY WITH DISTINCTION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM. COMMISSIONED BY SURVIVING COMRADES".

This sandstone war memorial was listed Grade II in 2012 with the following description:
History
This war memorial was unveiled on 5th September 1920 by Dean Haggerty. It originally sat within the site of the old church (now demolished) on the opposite side of the road; it was moved to its present position outside the new St Cuthbert’s R. C. Church in 1975.
Details
The memorial is situated within the boundary walls of St Cuthbert’s Roman Catholic Church. It takes the form of a crucifix upon a pyramidal-capped square pedestal; the whole is set upon a larger square, shallow base. The tall Latin cross with a triangular pediment, bears a corpus Christi with bearded head, crowned with thorns and bowed to the right. The arms are upstretched and fingers clasped, and a loose loincloth is knotted over the right hip. The left knee is bent and the feet superimposed. There is a carved scroll above inscribed with INRI.
The inscription on one side of the pyramidal cap reads: THIS CRUCIFIX / WAS ERECTED BY / THE PARISHIONERS / OF ST. CUTHBERT'S / TO THE MEMORY OF THE / MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION / WHO DIED ON ACTIVE SERVICE / DURING THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918
The names of the 138 Fallen are inscribed in three columns on the front and sides of the pedestal and the letters 'R.I.P.' are inscribed on the upper side of the base.

Pair of square gate posts surmounted by lamps, now broken. The is a plaque on each post:
"OLD BOYS OF THIS SCHOOL / WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES / FOR KING AND COUNTRY IN / THE GREAT WAR 1914-1919
ERECTED IN SOLEMN PRIDE / AND GRATITUDE BY THE / OLD STUDENTS UNION 1920 / DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI".
67 names are listed. The sculptor was Fraleys of Birmingham {www.newmp.org.uk}.

Opened 28th March 1925. Built as part of the town's war memorial (see also HER 7284). The hospital extension included a pavilion, nurses home and administration block. In the entrance hall there was plaque 4 feet 6 inches high and 2 feet 6 inches wide. The plaque commemorates the opening of the building in 1925. The plaque had a wavy border and shows in half relief a physician and a child holding his hand. In his other hand the child holds a vase. The plaque also shows a fluted column and a bird. The hospital was demolished in 2000. The site is now occupied by Tynemouth Court.

Conservation Area which includes part of the old town moor (HER 4356), Holy Trinity Church (HER 4421) and churchyard, Donnison School (HER 4767), merchant seamen's almshouses (HER 4766) and a former orphanage (HER 4768).

Cross of Sacrifice. 5m high on a Portland Stone octagonal base. A wall behind with two piers. "1939-1945 HERE ARE RECORDED THE NAMES OF HIS MAJESTYS FORCES WHO DIED IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND WERE CREMATED" {www.newmp.org.uk}.

Shown on Ordnance Survey first edition opposite the stables (HER 5228). Former estate farmstead arranged around three sides of a rectangular courtyard. The buildings were built to a formal and symmetrical plan and design and probably date from the late 18th century. By 1992 the buildings along the northern and eastern sides of the courtyard were ruinous. The buildings to the western side had been converted to a dwelling house. The east wing of the estate building was demolished without permission in 1992 and a new house built on its site.

This walled garden is shown on the Ordnance Survey First Edition map located to the northwest of Dunston Hill House. It was probably built in the early to mid-19th century of brick with sandstone copings and a stone facing on the outer north wall. It was situated on a south-east-facing slope. Historic maps indicate it had a glasshouse with a heating plant serving it. The garden was recorded prior to clearance in 2021 {1}.

The school was initially endowed in 1711 when Mrs Jane Blackiston left £100 towards the founding of the school in her will, a sum matched by the Reverend Dr Thomlinson, rector of the parish. The school was not completed until 1741. The school was then enlarged in 1825 under the Archdeacon Bowyer, and then rebuilt and enlarged again in 1888/9 by the Reverend Carr. The current overall floor plan of the building stems from the 1888/9 rebuild (though the southern elevation of the main stone schoolrooms almost certainly contains original 18th century material), with additions of a boiler room and emergency exit in the 20th century, as well as the removal of most internal architectural features during the ownership by the local council in the late 20th/early 21st centuries. The school building lies well in the character of School Lane and that part of the Whickham Conservation Area, though the southern frontage was altered by the local council in the late 20th century adding a new access ramp, door and replacement window which do detract from the overall building’s appearance.
Internally, very few features of archaeological, architectural or historic interest remain, with all but one of the building’s 10 fireplaces being blocked and/or removed, and any decorative architectural features, fixtures or fittings having being removed with the departure of the council.
