National Federation of Cemetery Friends

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE

Friends of North Gosforth Chapel



The Friends group formed to try to enhance and protect the site of a medieval chapel and to make it more widely known to the general public. There are no gravestones as such but some memorial slabs dating back to the 17th century and coffin lids possibly to the 13th century. The site a scheduled ancient monument and the Friends group have to seek the approval of English Heritage before starting any work. Local councillors and council staff have been very supportive.
