Whickham Parish Registers

"The Church, dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, is an ancient edifice, which was completely restored in 1862, and to which was added a second north aisle, and a chancel aisle or organ chamber, at a total cost of £2800. The original portions of the building still remaining are of the Late Norman period, and consist of the chancel-arch, nave arcades, square western tower of two stages, and part of the south walls of the chancel and south aisle. The tower, which was probably embattled in the fifteenth century, contains six bells. Prior to 1657, there must have been only one bell; but in that year two additional bells were placed, bearing the inscription, "William Bellany, 1657 ;" the three other bells, with the illuminated clock, were presented by the friends and tenantry of the late Ralph Carr Ellison, Esq., of Dunston, as a tribute to his memory, and were placed in position, March 1888. All the seats are free, and will accommodate about 570 persons. The living is a rectory, valued in the Liber Regis at £20, 8s. 11 1/2d. (gross income, £747), in the patronage of the Lord Chancellor. The Rev. Canon Henry Byne Carr, rector." [From History, Topography and Directory of Durham, Whellan, London, 1894]
