House
SITEDESC
Shown on Ordnance Survey second edition. Two adjoining large houses, Carlton Villa West and East, each with double fronts and central doorway. A semi circular drive aproached both houses from Jesmond Road and to the rear of Carlton Villa East. Occupied by a wine merchant and ship owner in 1874. By 1889 listed as occupied by wine merchant (A. Singers) and timber merchant (J. H. Hancock). By 1919 Carlton Villa East was part of the Central Newcastle High School for juniors and Carlton Villa West housed an ophthalmic surgeon, J.D.Wardale. Surrounding villas were demolished by the 1970s but Cartlon Villas East still survives as part of Jesmond Quaker Meeting House. The Friends moved to Jesmond in 1961 when their meeting house on Pilgrim Street was demolished to make way for Swan House roundabout. The front door, inscribed doorway keystone and meeting room benches are from the Pilgrim Street building. A meeting room was built on the back of the villa in 1961. The Quakers left the building in 2011 to move to new premises in Gosforth. They took the front door with them! Built into the garden wall of the Jesmond meeting house is a memorial stone recording the death of Abigail Tizacke who died in 1679 aged only 7 weeks. Her parents were Quakers who were married at the Gateshead meeting house, where the baby's death was also registered, and where she was probably buried. The memorial stone was originally laid in the family garden next to the Ouseburn Glassworks.
