INTRODUCTION

WHAT THIS DOCUMENT REPRESENTS

This document consists of an export from a Listed Buildings database maintained by Darlington Borough Council. The data has been captured from various statutory lists that have been compiled over the years by the Secretary of State for different parts of the Borough. Some of the information has been amended for clarity where a building has been demolished/de-listed, or an address has changed.

Each entry represent a single ‘listing’ and these are arranged by parish or town. The vast majority of entries are in one-to-a-page format, although some of the more recent listings are more detailed and lengthy descriptions, spilling over to 2 or 3 pages.

BACKGROUND

The first listings, in what is now the Borough of Darlington, were made in 1952. The urban area was the subject of a comprehensive re-survey in 1977, and the rural area in 1986 (western parishes) and 1988 (eastern parishes). A number of formal changes to the lists have been made since, as individual buildings have been ‘spot-listed’, de-listed, had grades changed, descriptions altered and mistakes corrected.

Further information on conservation in the Borough of Darlington can be found on our website. See www.planning.gov.uk/conservation.

Grade: II Summary of Building First World War memorial, 1923, with later additions for the Second World War. Reasons for Designation Bishopton War Memorial, which stands on the green at the junction of High Street and Church View, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; Group value: with the Church of St Peter (Grade II). History Bishopton War Memorial was unveiled on 12 August 1923 by Colonel Thomlinson and dedicated by the Venerable Canon Derry, Archdeacon of Auckland. It commemorates 14 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War, the names of two men who died in that conflict were added. Details The memorial stands on a green to the west of the Church of St Peter (Grade II-listed) in central Bishopton. The Cornish granite memorial comprises a Celtic cross rising from a tapered, square, plinth, that stands on a square, three-stepped, base. The principal dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads IN/ PROUD MEMORY OF/ THE MEN OF THIS PARISH/ WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES/ IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1918. The 14 First World War names are listed on the side faces and to the rear the Second World War dedication reads AND OF THE FOLLOWING/ WHO DIED IN/ THE WORLD WAR/ 1939 – 1945./ (2 NAMES).

HISTORY: The Order of Poor Clare Sisters, a Franciscan contemplative, enclosed order arrived back in England in 1795 to escape the persecution of the French Revolution; after temporary stays they settled at Scorton, North Yorkshire until 1850 when a site for a new monastery was sought. Twenty acres of land was purchased at a cost of £2000 from the adjacent Carmelite community in Darlington and the order remained in Darlington from 1856 until 2007 when their dwindling numbers forced their move south to join a sister community in Herefordshire. The daily life of the Poor Clares is occupied with both work and prayer and is a life of penance and contemplation, according to the rule of St Francis's collaborator, St Clare of Assisi, in 1253. The monastery was constructed for the Sisters between 1856 and 1857 to designs by Joseph Aloysius Hansom, a leading Catholic architect of the time, under supervision of the Clerk of Works James Frith. Not only was Hansom the designer, he took a personal interest in the foundation from the earliest time, advising the abbess on the choice of site and monitoring the work regularly. At times he contributed financially and his daughter Winny was a pupil at the convent. The sisters have been careful to preserve a full set of records regarding the construction and subsequent use of the abbey and they also hold original plans, photographs and financial accounts. Most important is a two-volume diary of James Frith in which all aspects of the building works are revealed from the period 7th April 1856 to 14th November 1857. A chapel for the Sisters was an integral part of the monastery and from this diary we know that a Mr Maycock of Clifton made the stained glass for its east window and it is likely that the designer was Hansom himself. The reredos panels were made by 'Mr Farmer' of London and all were finally installed in 1860. This is likely to be William Farmer (later Farmer & Brindley) architectural sculptors and ornamentalists who contributed to some of the greatest structures of the Victorian era including the exterior of the Natural history Museum. Again, it is considered that Hansom himself was the designer of the stonework. In 1987 the chapel interior was re-ordered with little disruption to original features. The only features removed were the stone dado with tracery windows filled with grills from the inner arches of the choir screen which separated the Sanctuary from the Choir, the ceiling was re-painted and an extra step was added to the sanctuary which was also extended forwards slightly.

W. N Pugin and the Gothic idea l; * it represents a high qu ality and little altered example of Catholic church design which retains

St Clare's Abbey, lodge, walls and ancillary garden buildings

Grade: II Convent 1856-7 by Joseph Aloysius Hansom and Charles Hansom for the Order of Poor Clare Sisters. MATERIALS: red brick with ashlar dressings, welsh slate roofs. PLAN: 1, 2 and 3 storey ranges set around five open, cloistered quadrangles with associated graveyard, garden walls and outbuildings, all contained within a perimeter wall with entrance gateway and lodge. EXTERIOR: Victorian Gothic Revival ranges with attics and basements under mainly pitched roofs with eaves cornices and plinths. Windows are mostly pointed arched with cusped heads. East Elevation: plain single storey cross gable at extreme right with pointed arched doorway and a trefoil opening above. To the left there is a single storey entrance range with a gabled porch supported by diagonal buttresses with a tall chimney to the right. The wide main entrance has a head-stopped drip mould, and above, a pinnacled and crocketed niche containing a statue of St. Clare, flanked by smaller blind niches bearing coats of arms including that of the Franciscan Order. Windows in this range are fixed mullions. A cross range to the left, with a prominent Tudor chimney, formerly the Chaplain's house, has a striking double height canted bay window with 5-light mullions and an ornate stone roof with paired lights above. The entrance range is linked to the chapel by a single storey cloister walk. South Elevation: Cross range, with stepped corner buttresses; ground floor cross windows either side of a central buttress supporting a stone carved oriel window of 4-lights with a Tudor flower eaves cornice. To either side there are stone crests in blind niches and above a single lancet with a headstopped drip mould. Attached to the left is a single storey cloister walk with a central gabled entrance with chamfered soffits and jambs and a double boarded door; niche and statue above, surmounted by a stone cross. Windows to either side have plate tracery and head-stopped hood moulds. 3-bay buttressed range to the left with pitched slate roof, raised coping and a stone cross to the left side, eaves cornice and band; there are 2-light shoulder arched windows to ground floor, paired 2-light cross windows at first floor and paired single-light windows at second floor level. A brick garden wall with triangular stone coping is attached to the left. West Elevation: rear range of 2-storeys with attics and basements, pitched roof, eaves cornice and plinth; scattered fenestration of mostly cross, single light and 3-light mullioned and transomed windows but some as full roof dormers with vertical Tudor chimney stacks. There is a shouldered arched entrance to the bottom left. The two end bays project; that to right has a 5 light mullion and transom window to ground floor and cross windows to second floor and 3-light plate traceried window above; blind niche with coat of arms at first floor level. Projecting left end bay has ground floor paired 3-light mullioned and transomed windows with similar 5-light above. Garden wall with triangular coping attached at left. Short single storey range links with a single storey end range with full roof dormers, gable and axial ridge stacks. Right bay has window of stepped lights which extend into roof dormer and a shouldered arched entrance. The perimeter wall attached to the left with triangular coping runs around the enclosure on all sides incorporating, on the east side, an entrance gateway and lodge and on the west side a second entrance with heavy boarded double doors. The gatehouse and lodge is a 2 bay, 2 storey gabled building with pitched roofs and an axial ridge chimney and external Tudor stack to the right; the main entrance is in the ground floor of the left bay comprising a 4-centred arched carriage entrance with adjacent similar

pedestrian entrance; the domestic lodgings located above are indicated by a 3-light mullioned and transomed window and small cusped window in the apex of the gable. The right bay contains a canted bay window of 5 lights but is otherwise blind. The small extension to the right is not of special interest. INTERIOR: the east range of the entrance court has undergone recent refurbishment but the Chaplain's house retains window panelling, shutters and cornices. The remainder of the abbey has plainly painted walls throughout with floors of parquet or wooden boards; roofs include Queen post and King post forms and some roofs in the single storey cloister walks are of open scissor trusses and coupled rafter form. Original fixtures and fittings of note include wooden doors with door furniture, pointed arch surrounds throughout, numerous stone fire surrounds, some with cast iron grates, fitted wooden cupboards and features particular to the enclosed way of life include a grilled opening in the entrance vestibule and wooden 'turn' for receiving small items from outside the enclosure. All original wooden staircases are retained including a carved open well stair on the west side of Church Court. Domestic and dining ranges on the north side have original hooded fireplaces. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: a small graveyard, with identical simple crosses, the earliest dated 1858 and a single grave marked by a flat stone monument; a tall high cross on a stepped plinth forming the focus of the design. Other buildings within the perimeter wall include garden walls with triangular coping, summer house, a building against the west wall and the remains of outbuildings in the north west corner of the precinct. HISTORY: This abbey was constructed for the Order of Poor Clare Sisters between 1856 and 1857 to designs by Joseph Aloysius Hansom, a leading Catholic architect of the time, under supervision of the Clerk of Works James Frith. Not only was Hansom the designer, he took a personal interest in the foundation from the earliest time, advising the abbess on the choice of site and monitoring the work regularly. At times he contributed financially and his daughter Winny was a pupil at the convent. The sisters have been careful to preserve a full set of records regarding the construction and subsequent use of the abbey and they also hold original plans, photographs and financial accounts. Most important is a two-volume diary of James Frith in which all aspects of the building works are revealed from the period 7th April 1856 to 14th November 1857. The buildings first appear on the first edition Ordnance Survey 1:10560 map of 1858 immediately after their completion; the north end of the entrance range is incomplete and the grounds are undeveloped. The second edition 1:2500 map of 1899 depicts the abbey in its complete state with 'landscaped grounds, graveyard, gatehouse and other garden buildings in place. Several outbuildings have been lost since 1939. The property was described by the late Dr Denis Evinson in his 1966 MA thesis as a chapel, ladies' school, grange and gatehouse. Joseph Hansom had a varied career, which included collaborating with a number of different architects, inventing the 'Hansom Cab' and as founder of the architectural magazine 'The Builder'. He is most renowned for the design of various churches, mostly Roman Catholic, and for Birmingham Town Hall. He was supported at st. Clare's Abbey by his brother Charles Francis Hansom (1817-1888) who is also entered in the ODNB. Joseph Hanson was an independent minded follower of the Gothic style advocated by A. W N Pugin and, along with his brother Charles, he is considered to be a leader of Pugin imitators. In the recent work' A Glimpse of Heaven' Joseph Hansom is described as . an extraordinary Catholic talent' whose churches' show his continuing and brilliant talent'. The Order of Poor Clare Sisters, a Franciscan contemplative, enclosed order, built their first monastery in England in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1286; subsequently they moved to Antwerp in 1455 and then to St Omer. An extern Sister, Mary Ward, then established a community for English Woman at Gravelines, now Northern France, and the community increased and prospered and several other foundations were established including one at Rouen. After the hardships of the French Revolution including the loss of their liberty for a time, the Rouen Sisters moved back to England in 1795 and after a brief stay in London, they moved to Haggerston Castle, Northumberland at the behest of Sir Carnaby Haggerston. In 1805 the order purchased Scorton Hall, North Yorkshire, where they remained until 1850 when a site for a new monastery was sought and twenty acres of land was purchased at a cost of £2000 from the adjacent Carmelite community in Darlington. The order remained in Darlington for over 150 years until 2007 when due to dwindling numbers they moved to join a sister community in Herefordshire and gifted the

Darlington convent to the Brothers of the Hospitaller Order of Saint John of God. The daily life of the Poor Clares is occupied with both work and prayer and is a life of penance and contemplation, according to the rule of St Francis's collaborator, St Clare of Assisi, in 1253.

New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1911. 22 May 2009 REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: This mid C19 convent by Joseph Alyosius Hansom is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * designed by Joseph Hansom: one of the leading Catholic architects of the C19th and an independent-minded follower of A. W. N Pugin and the Gothic ideal; * the quality of its design, composition and execution; * reviving the concept of a medieval monastic layout, it is highly readable and displays clear differentiation between the functions of its parts; * occupied by an enclosed religious order of nuns for more than 150 years, the overall level of intactness is remarkable; * for its place in the Catholic Revival in mid Victorian England and a good example of women's architecture reflecting ideas of the ideal female community; * the abbey forms part of the first wave of female monastic foundations re-established in Britain following the French Revolution.

SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: the cottages have walled yards attached to the rear, each with a range of out buildings attached to the inside of its north wall. HISTORY: The cottages were designed and built by G. G Hoskins• architectural practice in 1873 for Theodore Fry (later Mayor and M.P. of the town 1850-1895) and his Quaker wife Sophie Pease Fry (granddaughter of Edward Pease, the noted woollen manufacturer and promoter of the pioneering Stockton to Darlington Railway). Members of the Fry family lived in Woodburn Mansion, formerly situated on the south side of Coniscliffe Road, also designed by Hoskins but demolished in 1935. The

cottages were originally known as Woodburn Gardeners' Cottages and were set within an extensive garden plot. In the late C19 a room was added to each of the ground floor sculleries to provide a first floor bathroom and in the early 1980s a narrow two storey extension was added to the rear of the western cottage. Gardens and gardening have an important ro le in the Quaker tradition and the construction of the cottages and their smallholding is thought to have been a Quaker philanthropic Horticultural project to provide local work. George G Hoskins was a prominent Darlington architect who designed a number of prestigious buildings in the town and the surrounding region and has six listed buildings to his name including the II* listed Middlesbrough Town Hall. He was elected a fellow of the RIBA in 1870 proposed by J. P Pritchell, T Oliver and J Ross. Hoskins had been clerk to Albert Waterhouse the renowned architect and Quaker who strongly influenced his building slyle. SOURCES: N Pevsner The Buildings of England: County Durham 2nd edition 1983 pI48-9; L Chadd; original building plans and elevations held in Durham Record Office. REASON FOR DESIGNATION: This pair of cottages of 1873 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: A well preserved example of high quality and welt executed later C19 domestic architecture, forming a handsome composition with external detailing including decorative eaves cornices. chamfered stone mullioned windows and buttressed porches: There is good survival of original internal features including 4-panel doors, fitted cupboards and a pair of bespoke staircases, all with welt detailed joinery which echoes that of the External stonework: As a Quaker horticultural venture, these collages are an important survival in a town dominated by Quaker families who funded a large number of civic and public buildings: They were designed by the regionally significant architect G G Hoskins, who trained • under Waterhouse and executed a number of commissions for prominent Quaker families.

Haughton-Le-Skerne War Memorial

Grade: II Summary of Building First World War memorial, 1920. Reasons for Designation Barmpton, Great Burdon and Haughton-le-Skerne War Memorial, which stands on Haughton Green, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on the local community, and the sacrifice it made in the First World War; Architectural interest: a simple yet dignified Celtic cross; Degree of survival: unusually, the memorial has not been adapted for Second World War commemoration, and thus retains its original design intent; Group value: with the Grade I-listed Church of St Andrew and numerous Grade II-listed buildings on Haughton Green. History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead, which meant that the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial was raised at Haughton-le-Skerne as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by the members of the district who lost their lives in the First World War. The war memorial was unveiled on 7 October 1920 by Lt-Col GO Spence, and dedicated by the Rector Reverend RC Fellowes, in commemoration of 18 local servicemen who had died. Details The memorial stands on a small green area to the east of the Grade I-listed Church of St Andrew and in close proximity to a number of other listed buildings on Haughton Green. It takes the form of a tall stone Celtic cross rising from a tapered plinth. The plinth stands on a square step. The principal dedicatory inscription on the plinth reads IN GRATEFUL MEMORY/ OF THE 18 MEN OF BARMPTON,/ GREAT BURDON AND HAUGHTON-LE-SKERNE/ WHO BY THE GRACE OF GOD/ GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE GREAT WAR/ 1914 – 1919./ THEIR BODIES ARE BURIED IN PEACE,/ BUT THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE. The commemorated names are recorded on the other sides of the plinth.

DARLINGTON Former GNER Engine Shed Haughton Road DARLINGTON DL1 1LR

504544 09/01/2008


Engine Shed 1840/41 possibly by J T Andrews of York for the Great North of England Ralway

Grade: II MATERIALS red brick with stone dressings and corrugated asbestos roofing; timber ventilator. PLAN: a single storey rectangular building comprising 2 bays into which engines entered from the south. EXTERIOR: South Elevation: 2-bays with 2 large round headed engine openings with stone imposts, one partially blocked and one covered with boarded sliding doors. The roof is hipped with oversailing eaves and a raised louvered ventilator along the apex. North Elevation: 2 large round headed engine openings with stone imposts, one blocked and one with boarded doors. East and West Elevations: 11 original openings with brick segmental arches within shallow segmental-headed panels separated by narrow brick pilasters; these openings have had their lower parts in filled and later windows inserted, many of which are themselves, now blocked and boarded over. Six inserted windows in the east elevation retain their window frames. There is a stone plinth and stone sill band. INTERIOR: single, large space with a Queen Post Roof and the remains of a fireplace, possibly a small forge, at the north end. SOURCES: Mike Griffiths Associates LTD Land at Haughton Road, Haughton Road, Darlington Desk-Based Assessment July 2007 HISTORY: This is a railway engine shed built by the Great North of England Railway Company said by the applicant to date from 1841. The Tithe map of 1847 confirms the building in this position. The shed is located on the Line from Darlington to York, which opened in January 1841 for goods and for passengers on 30 March 1841. The first trains to run on this line used locomotives borrowed or purchased from the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The architect is uncertain but it is thought to be George Townsend Andrews of York, architect of the first York Station. While this cannot be confirmed the balance of evidence supports this view as Andrews is confirmed as a prolific designer of very many railway buildings in the area including stations, goods stations and engine sheds during this period including work for the Great North of England Railway. Very many of these early railway buildings are listed in Grades I1 and some in Grade II*. This building is designated in grade II for the following principal reasons: * It is an early example of this type of building for a railway company * It is a rare example of an early railway engine shed * It is highly significant for the evolution of railway building design * Although it has suffered some alteration in terms of blocked openings and roof coverings it is free from accretions and retains its basic form

DARLINGTON Joseph Pease Statue High Row DARLINGTON

7/326 06/09/1977


Statue of Joseph Pease

Grade: II This list entry has been amended as part of the Bicentenary commemorations of the 1807 Abolition Act. Statue of Joseph Pease, built 1875 and situated at the east end of Prospect Place, at the junction with Prebend Row, High Rowand Northgate. The sculptor was George Anderson Lawson; the foundry Cox and Sons. The statue is an electroform casting - zinc dipped in copper - one and a half times life-size (approximately 9ft). Pease is represented in middle age, wearing a Quaker lapel-less coat. He stands with his left hand at his side and his right tucked into the breast of his waistcoat, a pose he often assumed when speaking in public. The pedestal is in two parts; the plinth, of grey granite, supports a decorative base of polished pink Shap granite with colonnettes at the corners. Set into each of the four sides of the pedestal is a bronze relief panel representing an aspect of Pease's public life. On the south face (the front), Pease's political career: according to a contemporary newspaper account, this shows Pease conversing with Lords John Russell and Palmerston on his entry into Parliament. On the west, slaves celebrating their emancipation with a jubilant Pease. On the north, industry is represented : a locomotive engine, with the chimneys and docks of Middlesbrough in the background. On the east, a schoolmistress instructs a group of standing children. 'Joseph Pease' is incised on the plinth in large Roman letters. On the base of the statue are the names of the sculptor and founders, and the date. HISTORY: Joseph Pease (1799-1872) was born in Darlington, the second son of Edward Pease (1767-1858); Edward's contribution to the development of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, and to the establishment of Robert Stephenson & Co. as builders of locomotives, earned him the title 'father of the railways'. The Peases were Quakers, and Joseph remained committed to the family's interests in both business and religion. In 1826 he married Emma Gurney, a member of a prominent Norfolk Quaker family. At the age of 19, Joseph prepared the Railway's prospectus, and became its first treasurer; thereafter he worked to open up the mineral wealth of the north east of England, helping to establish Teeside as an important centre for iron production. Pease extended railway lines and persuaded mine owners to use them to transport their products, setting an example by buying collieries himself; he became the county's largest coal-owner. By his retirement in 1870, rail was the principal method of coal transportation. In 1832 Pease was elected to represent South Durham in the House of Commons; he held the seat until 1841. Pease was Britain's first Quaker MP. He refused to take the usual Church of England oath on presenting himself in 1833, and a parliamentary committee allowed him to affirm instead. He did not take off his hat on entering the House, and retained his Quaker dress. It is said that he refused to canvas for votes, or to spend any money on his election. A supporter of the whig governments of Earl Grey and Lord Melbourne, Pease frequently spoke on matters of social and political reform. He used his position in Parliament to speak eloquently for the abolition of slavery, working in concert with his relation-by-marriage, Thomas Fowell Buxton. His wife's cousin and Buxton's brother-in-law, Joseph John Gurney, was also active in opposing slavery. Abolition was a favourite cause of the Pease family: Pease's uncle Joseph had written tracts for the Anti-Slavery Society; this elder Joseph's daughter, Elizabeth Pease Nichol, played an important role in the movement. Outside the House, Pease devoted much of his energy to philanthropic and educational work - building and financing numerous schools in

his industrial communities - and to the Society of Friends, of which he was a minister. From 1860 until his death he was president of the Peace Society. A Pease Memorial Committee of 43 local businessmen was formed soon after Pease's death with the object of commissioning a painting for the town hall, and a statue. The sculptor, G. A. Lawson, originally from Edinburgh but based in London from c1862, is thought to have used a photograph of Pease aged 63 as his model. Funds were quickly raised, and the statue was unveiled on 28 September 1875, the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. The day was declared a public holiday throughout the district; 100,000 people are said to have filled the streets, 80,000 arriving from out of town in special trains. All the mayors of the United Kingdom were present for the unveiling of the statue, a service performed by the Duke of Cleveland, whose family had, over the years, attempted to thwart the development of the Peases' railways.The statue was placed at a prominent junction in the centre of Darlington; standing at Prospect Place, Pease looks down High Row to the Gothic clock tower (q.v.) by Alfred Waterhouse which was his gift to the town in 1864. Behind the statue is a listed early C20 bank building; the restrained classical facade in pale limestone provides an excellent backdrop for the statue. The statue was originally surrounded by railings, with four gas lamps, but these were later removed, and in 1958 the statue was moved several metres as a result of a road redevelopment scheme. In 2006-7 the statue was cleaned and returned to its original position; the area surrounding it has been re-designed. The restored statue was unveiled on 24 October 2007, the 200th anniversary of the day on which the Act abolishing the slavetrade was given royal assent. SOURCES: P. Usherwood, J. Beach and C.

Hare, The Gurneys of Earlham, 2 vols (1895) Victoria County History, Durham IV: Darlington (2005) REASONS FOR DESIGNATION The statue of Joseph Pease is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * A handsome statue of 1875, with animated relief panels, by George Anderson Lawson. * The statue is of particular historical interest, having been erected to commemorate Joseph Pease, a figure of national significance for his work as a railway promoter, as the first Quaker member of Parliament, and as an anti-slavery advocate. * The statue forms a striking contrast with the early C20 bank before which it stands, and looks towards the Gothic clock tower which was Pease's gift to the town; both of these are listed.

DARLINGTON Hopetown Carriage Works 135 - 141 Hopetown Lane DARLINGTON

2/430 14/02/1986


Stockton & Darlington Railway Carriage Works

Grade: II Workshops, circa 1853 by Joseph Sparkes for the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company. Constructed of small coursed squared sandstone, now mostly rendered, with brick and freestone dressings under Welsh slate roofs. PLAN: a rectangular building comprising a tall central block of two bays and two storeys set at right angles to the track, with a nine bay south range and an eight bay north range, both of single storey construction. Carriages entered and left the building by the principal east entrance via a spur from the coal yard branch line, and two turntables within the central block aligned with two longitudinal internal tracks, which ran the length of the building. EXTERIOR: MAIN (EAST) ELEVATION: 2-bay and 2-storey central block, with quoins and a plain sill band to the upper windows with a top frieze. There is a principal ground floor entrance with stepped voussoirs, now partly blocked. Two first floor windows in stone architraves, boarded over. Single storey flanking ranges have quoins and all window openings are set in shallow segmental-headed panels. The windows in the north range are large cross casements, now blocked while those in the south range have recently inserted modern U-uPVC replacements. All roofs are hipped with chimneys at the sides and rear of the central block. WEST ELEVATION: 3-bay and 3-storeys; all window openings of central block have plain sashes or plate-glass windows, all blocked and a small recessed doorway to the right. RIGHT AND LEFT RETURNS: each of 3-bays and 2-storeys with a large centrally placed vehicle entry. INTERIOR: The central bay originally formed a repair and lifting shop with a loft over and a small cottage to the rear. This has been remodelled by the removal of walls, flues and fireplaces to form a central space; the upper parts of the walls are therefore carried on large iron beams. The timber runways for an under-hung travelling crane, clearly a secondary feature, survive within the interior of the modified building. The loft formed the works’ pattern store and has king post trusses with hips to the east and west ends. The south range originally housed heated stores and offices in the end bay, while the remaining part formed the paint shop. The floor of the south range has been lowered by 1m; an inspection pit has been inserted. The north range formed joiners and blacksmiths shops. Internal structures have been built in both ranges to create offices and associated spaces. Both ranges have Queen Post roofs with raked struts and triple side purlins, similar to those in the nearby North Road Station. HISTORY: The carriage works is situated in the NW part of the site known since the 1830's as North Road and developed by the S&DR between 1831 and 1853. The site occupies a triangle of land between the original Stockton & Darlington railway which opened for traffic on the 27th September 1825, and a branch line to a coal depot opened on the same day. This became the location for most of the S&DR Company's subsequent development in Darlington. All of the key buildings on this site are therefore from the first generation of the Railway Age when the form and function of railway building was being developed by trial and error. The carriage works was the last building to be constructed on the North Road site; from its earliest years the S&DR Company had contracted out the building of its carriages, and repairs were probably carried out at Shildon. In 1853, this changed and the Company developed a purpose built works for the construction and maintenance of railway carriages, probably reflecting the growth in passenger traffic since the company's early years. Joseph Sparkes designed the works and it is thought that his original drawings

proposed a more elaborate, ornamental building than the utilitarian building finally constructed. With the advent of longer carriages, which could not be accommodated in the works with its central transverse access using turntables rather than gable-end doors, the building went out of use around 1884. It subsequently supported a number of uses and in the 1990's it became occupied by heritage railway organizations’ as a workshop. SOURCES: Unpublished summary of the site Conservation Plan (Dept of Archaeology, Univ of York) by Robert Clarke, Museum Manager. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: This 1853 carriage works was designed by Joseph Sparkes for the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company and it falls into the important second phase of development of the railway system between 1841 and 1850. It is of special interest because of its early date for a railway company building of this type, its importance in the evolution of railway building design and its rarity as a surviving example. It also possesses clear group value as a component of the S&DR terminal complex, the world's first modern railway.

Lime Cells c1840's of brick and stone dressings under a pitched roof of slate, faced with timber cladding

Grade: II PLAN: two-storey rectangular structure with first floor provision for railway wagons and four lime cells below on ground floor. EXTERIOR: FRONT (WEST) ELEVATION: two storeys and four bays with projecting eaves; in filled with secondary timber cladding replacing a probable original lightweight screen. Four 4-light windows at first floor level and four double entry doors to the ground floor. GABLES: projecting eaves with an oval headed arched opening with moulded stone impost band in the centre of each gable to allow the passage of railway wagons; that through the south gable is now in filled with brick. INTERIOR: The ground floor is divided into four separate rectangular cells in which lime was dropped from the railway wagons above and stored pending its transfer by road. The upper level comprises large timber way beams, supported on stone piers, which originally supported the railway track; the area between the former tracks, originally open, has been in filled with wooden planking. Cast iron columns support a wall plate along the main west elevation. The whole is covered by a simple truss roof with tie beams and through purlins. HISTORY: These lime cells were constructed in the 1840's at a time of urban expansion in Darlington, which offered a ready market for building lime. They are present on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1855. The structure is situated at the extreme southeast corner of a site known since the 1830's as North Road and developed by the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company between 1831 and 1853. The site occupies a triangle of land between the original Stockton & Darlington railway which opened for traffic on the 27th September 1825, and a branch line to a coal depot opened on the same day. This became the location for most of the Stockton & Darlington railways subsequent development in Darlington. All of the key buildings on this site are therefore from the first generation of the Railway Age when the form and function of railway building was being developed by trial and error. Map evidence suggests that the lime cells had ceased their primary use by the end of the C19. SOURCES: Unpublished summary of the site conservation plan (Department of Archaeology, University of York) by Robert Clarke, Museum Manager. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: This 1840's set of lime cells lies adjacent to a branch line of the Stockton & Darlington Railway and functioned as a store for building lime, delivered by rail, for use in the urban development of Darlington. It is of special interest because it falls into the important second phase of development of the railway system between 1841 and 1850 and represents a rare survival of an early and relatively intact railway related structure. It also possesses clear group value as a component of the Stockton & Darlington railway terminal complex, the world's first modern railway.

10/112 28/04/1952


Church of St. John

Grade: II 1847-9 by John Middleton. 1900 Vestries by W S Hicks. MATERIALS: Sandstone ashlar. Slate roofs. PLAN: Nave, chancel, Nand S aisles, W tower, S porch, NE vestries. EXTERIOR: A well-proportioned church in a severe Early English style. The chancel has clasping buttresses with corner shafts with bell capitals and a moulded wall..plate above astone band which in turn runs above an Early English-style corbel course. The roof is steeply pitched. There is a trefoil high up in the gable and a graded triple lancet E window with a hoodmould. The S side is buttressed and has a shoulder-headed doorway. The five-bay nave and lean-to aisles also have clasping corner buttresses. The aisles have a moulded wall-plate and plain stone band over a corbel course as on the chancel. There are buttresses between the bays, each of which has a single lancet window. There is a clerestory formed of narrow lancet slits. The S porch is gabled, and has a richly moulded outer doorway with shafts and stiffleaf capitals, and a 19th-century two-leaf door with decorated strap hinges. At the W end there is a tall five-stage tower with a projecting SE stair turret to the lowest stage. The tower has big set-back buttresses. There are lancet windows in the lowest stages. The penultimate stage has blind arcading and slit windows; the belfry stage has richly moulded belfry windows with shaft rings, recessed below a corbel cornice to the parapet which has a cornice. The visually abrupt termination of tower is due to the fact that the intended broach spire was never built. Ther:e is a moulded W doorway with triple shafts in a shallow gabled projection with blind trefoils on either side of the gable: the 19th-century two-leaf door has decorative hinges. The NE vestry has lancet windows and a flat roof (reduced from an original gable) and a stack with a stone shaft. A 20th-century brick vestry has been built to the rear (W) of the original. INTERIOR: The walls are plastered and whitened. The nave is very tall under an extremely steeply pitched roof. The chancel arch takes up almost the full width of the nave and has clustered shafts with bell capitals. Blind trefoils decorate the wall above the chancel arch. The tower arch is very tall. Between the nave and ,aisles there are five-bay arcades with double-chamfered arches on quatrefoil piers with fillets to the shafts and bell capitals. Over the nave is a substantial wind-braced roof with main and intermediate trusses, the main ones being arch-braced with curved queen struts above the collar. There are stone wall-shafts to the main trusses which rise from a string-course at clerestory sill level. The chancel has a most unusual roof with exceptionally long scissor braces and collars: there are ashlar pieces and a moulded wallplate: it is ceiled with horizontal boards behind the trusses. The aisle roofs are supported on moulded stone corbels with diagonal braces between the rafters and the outer walls of the arcades. The triple lancet E window has internal mouldings on detached shafts with shaft-r,ings. Below the sill of the E window the wall is decorated with blind Early English-style arcading with small trefoils on the spandrels. The chancel is laid with Minton's encaustic tiles, the sanctuary having tiles with the symbols of the Evangelists. PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: The 19th-century fixtures and fittings are largely complete. The choir stalls have poppyhead bench ends. There is a good polygonal stone pulpit decorated with niches flanked by polished marble shafts with white marble figures in the niches: it has a cornice decorated with stiff-leaf foliage and has a circular stem with polished marble shafts and brass barley sugar standards to the

handrail to the steps. The font is polygonal with a bowl and stem in one and has Early English arcading round it. The 19th century benches have shouldered ends and panels with blind flamboyant tracery. The nave has a timber dado of 1932. The stained glass includes a high-quality E window depicting the Ascension. There is an unusual First World War memorial, a small Arts and Crafts triptych with a beaten metal image of a knight in the centre as the upright of a red enamel St George's cross with brass panels inscribed with names, to the wings. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: 19th-century cast-iron railings, gates, and stone gate piers to the churchyard. HISTORY: The expansion of population due to the arrival of railway workers for the York and Newcastle Railway Company in this area occasioned the need to expand Anglican church accommodation. Initially a warehouse was used for Sunday services and in July 1845 a new ecclesiastical district was created. George Hudson, 'the Railway King', was adamant that the new church should by both conspicuous and attractive (Torode). Subscriptions were invited. The foundation ston was laid on 10 September 1847 and the building was estimated to cost £3,200. Progress was slow and it was only completed in 1849: the official opening took place in January 1850. The church had some 620 seats of which over.380 were free. The final cost was £4,000. The architect, John Middleton (1820-85), was born in York where he became the pupil of James Pigott Pritchett. He began practice in Darlington in 1843, presumably attracted by the opportunities presented by the expansion of this railway town. By 1859 he moved to Cheltenham where he had accepted a commission to design St Mark's church. He subsequently developed a very successful career in the area as a High Victorian Gothic architect. St John's is a fine building and marks the start of a distinguished churchbuilding career by Middleton. The proportions of the building and the Early English detail is handled with assurance and the building has a strong architectural presence in is neighbourhood. It represents a marked advance in architectural sophistication for church building since the 1830s when Early English-style churches were so often very routine and poor in detail. It is thus a reflection of the fact that Middleton, whose first church this was, had absorbed the messages from Pugin and the ecclesiologists about how churches should be built. Sadly the spire ,was never built. SOURCES: Brian E. Torode, John Middleton, Victorian Provincial Architect, 2008, pp. 1921. Nikolaus Pevsner and Elizabeth ,Williamson. The Buildings of England: County Durham, 1983, p 147. Incorporated Church Building Society papers, Lambeth Palace library, file 3945. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The Church of St John the Evangelist is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * It is of considerable interest as a well-proportioned early Victorian Gothic Revival church in a strong, severe Early English style. It marks a considerable advance on the rather starved lancet churches thatwere being built in considerable numbers just ten years before. * Although lacking the intended spire it has a very fine architectural presence and is an impoJtant local landmark. * The interior is tall and impressive and has a remarkable scissor-braced roof over the chancel. * It has retained an extensive collection of its original C19 fixtures and fittings, which retains their coherence. * It is of historic interest as a reflection of Darlington's growth at this time, and for the particular connection with George Hudson, an important figure in railway history.

DARLINGTON School Chapel St William And St Frances De Sales Roman Catholic Church Nestfield Street DARLINGTON

School Chapel of St William and St Farancis de Sales

Grade: II Summary of Building Roman Catholic school-chapel, 1870-1 to the designs of Richard Robinson; attached school 1910 by Edward Kay. Gothic style. The lean-to extension to the east elevation of the west range and the small extension in the angle between the north range and the west range as well as the enclosing brick walls to the rear yards are excluded from the listing. Reasons for Designation The Roman Catholic school-chapel of St William and St Francis de Sales, 1870-71 with later school room of 1910, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Rarity: a good example of a once common but now relatively rare school-chapel, important in the C19 in providing worship and educational facilities on a modest budget; Historic interest: constructed as a memorial to Bishop Hogarth, the first Bishop of the Diocese following the Restoration of Catholic Hierarchy in 1850; Group value: taken together the chapel-school and later attached school room form a functional and spatial grouping, which enhances the interest of both buildings; Plan form: the building illustrates well its dual-purpose function with its long symmetrical main elevation and an interior that retains the sense of space; Fixtures and fittings: most notably the sculpture of St William by Farmer and Brindley and the Caen stone and marble high altar which remain in situ. History By the 1860s it was clear that Darlington needed further provision for Catholic worship in addition to St Augustine's Church. The construction in 1870 of a combined school and chapel in an area of Victorian working-class housing resulted directly from the Education Bill of the same year. It is considered that this school-chapel is now a relatively rare survival of what was once an important building type in providing both Catholic worship and educational facilities on a modest budget. As a dual use building the E end of the chapel was partitioned off when the school was in use. The building was also constructed as a memorial to Bishop Hogarth. It was designed by Richard Robinson of Darlington, and the carved external statue is by leading stone-carvers Farmer and Brindley. The foundation stone was laid on 16 October 1870 and the building opened on the 6 March 1871 by Bishop Chadwick at a cost of £1000. The Caen stone altar was designed by Signor Boulette of Newcastle and carved by J Priestman and Sons, and the tabernacle canopy was added in 1880 also carved by Priestman. The east window is by

Barnett of Newcastle. The school-chapel was extended to the south in 1878 by the addition of a new infant's school, but in 1910 new schools were built on the same site and the school use of the chapel ceased. New flooring, benches and a panelled dado were inserted into the former school-chapel, which could now accommodate 360. Perhaps also at this time the central rear range that had formed the east side of a rear yard was truncated and partially rebuilt. Details Roman Catholic school-chapel, 1870-1 to the designs of Richard Robinson; attached school 1910 by Edward Kay. Gothic style. MATERIALS: red-brick; slate roofs. PLAN: L-shaped occupying a corner site: rectangular school-chapel oriented east to west with nave and sanctuary under one roof and a south-east sacristy; a later school is attached to the south-west corner. EXTERIOR: the school-chapel is constructed of red-brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings, polychromatic black brick detailing and a dentilled eaves cornice with roll moulded detailing. The long N elevation is symmetrical with eleven bays comprising five two-light lancet windows either side of a central gabled bay. The latter has wooden barge boards and contains a three-light stepped window; above is an ornately carved stone canopied niche with crocketed pinnacles containing a statue of St William. Immediately behind the central gabled bay astride the roof ridge, is a timber ventilator in the form of a bellecote with a pyramidal roof surmounted by an iron cross. There are polychromatic sill and impost bands and the pointed arches of the windows are also detailed with black brick. Four tiny triangular roof lights pierce the pitched roof. The W end has a three-light stepped lancet window with similar polychromatic detailing and three bands of black brick. To either side is a plaque confirming that the building was constructed as a memorial to Bishop Hogarth and the date 1870. The rear south elevation has a plainer eaves cornice and paired two-light windows with a two-storey sacristy to the south-east corner and a similar projecting range to the centre which has been truncated and partly rebuilt. Attached to the west end of the school-chapel is the later and more plainly detailed four-bay school with a half-hipped roof; a full-height pointed arched entrance with a moulded brick surround and brick tympanum occupies the northern-most bay (double doors are replacements) and three two-light lancet windows form the other bays. The lean-to extension to the E elevation of the W range and the small extension in the angle between the N range and the W range as well as the enclosing brick walls to the rear yards are excluded from the listing. INTERIOR: the school-chapel is a lengthy space with the original roof structure remaining above a C20 ceiling inserted above its tie beams. The stained glass of the east window depicts St Thomas Aquinas, Our Lord Teaching in the Temple and St Catherine. The sanctuary has a panelled dado with Gothic detailing including crocketed pinnacles, and there is a carved stone piscina to the right of the altar. The latter is the original and has five deeply carved, ornate panels of Caen stone bearing emblems of the Passion including, Crown of Thorns, The Pelican in her Piety and to the centre, a Crucifixion, each panel framed by a pair of marble columns. A richly ornamented canopy for the tabernacle survives supported on four green marble shafts. The screen that would have originally separated off the school room from the sanctuary has been removed. The nave walls are plastered and lightly painted, with a panelled dado and square-end benches of pitch pine. Four pointed arch openings through the south wall, each with a small applied cross to its tympanum, are original entrances to the sacristy, the truncated central projecting range, and a pair of entrances to the exterior rear yard; one of the latter is blocked but the others retain original double boarded doors. To the rear of the church is a raised area occupying the west

bay, which contains the organ. The sacristy retains an original later C19 cast-iron fireplace set within a timber surround and boarded cupboards, and the remodelled central, rear projection has a holy water stoup set within the external face of the south wall. The attached school is a single space, whose original roof structure is obscured by an inserted ceiling with only the supporting corbels visible. There is a timber and glazed vestibule, a panelled dado, an original inbuilt cupboard to the north end and a wooden plaque recording its construction. A wide arched entrance leads out through the north-east corner.

Railway Viaduct

Grade: II Built 1856 for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, altered prior to 1935. Solid iron side parapets flank track and are supported by pairs of rusticated ashlar piers with cornices and low rounded caps. Piers lead into side walls with wide flat copings running north and south at either side of street. Coursed stone abutments now much banked up with earth. The railway originally crossed the road by means of a level crossing. Plans to build a bridge were begun in the 1840’s, and the bridge finally built in 1856. An early photograph shows a plaque with the date MDCCCLVI on the side. Listed partly for its association with the Stockton-Darlington railway.

Grade: II Summary of Building Two later C18 houses owned by Edward Pease, and the location of the meeting between Pease and George Stephenson which led to the construction of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Pease's house was remodelled in 1866 by its extension and division into two shop units and the reconstruction of the main elevation. The houses underwent further modifications during the C20. Reasons for Designation This pair of later C18 houses, remodelled in 1866 with further C20 modifications, are designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Architectural interest: a pair of later C18 town houses which although remodelled in 1866 are readable, and the mid C19 changes possess some architectural interest in their own right; * Historic Interest: as the home of Edward Pease and the location of his historic meeting with George Stephenson, leading to the construction of the world's first passenger railway. History The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography entry for Edward Pease (1767 to 1858) makes clear his role in the origin and development of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. As originally envisaged, the scheme was intended as a tram road, carrying coal and drawn by horses. A well-documented meeting took place between Edward Pease and with the Killingworth Colliery engine-wright George Stephenson (1781-1848) in the kitchen of Pease’s 48 Northgate home on 19th April 1821. At this meeting, Stephenson recommended the construction of a rail road rather than a tram road. This first meeting between Pease and Stephenson led to the construction of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the first public passenger railway in the world, and to George Stephenson’s appointment as engineer to the line. Stephenson’s entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography outlines his subsequent career, including his appointment as engineer on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. The block 138-148 Northgate originally comprised a pair of later C18 houses owned by Edward Pease, and recent research has identified the house in which he lived until his death. The location of the original kitchen in which the meeting between Pease and Stephenson took place has also been identified as the ground floor of the second bay (now occupied by Best Kebab). In 1866 the pair of houses was remodelled by the division of the Pease house into two shop units and the construction of an extension to the north end. The west elevation was reconstructed with stucco, pilasters and a central pediment. In 1909, the second bay was refronted and in 1923, bays five to eight were converted to a single shop with a new shop front. There have also been C20 alterations. Details MATERIALS: constructed of pinkish brick; stucco with incised lines, welsh slate roof coverings. PLAN: double-pile plan with a rear range. EXTERIOR: Main (west) Elevation: a three-storey building of eight bays with a low-pitched roof and

two end chimneys. There is a four-bay pedimented central section containing a round window, defined by rusticated Ionic pilasters, and the entablature rests on similar pilasters at the ends of the building. The second bay has a second floor oriel window and other windows are sashes in moulded architraves, one of which at first floor level in bay one has a console bracketed cornice. There are modern shop fronts to the ground floors and to the first floor of bays five to eight. The oriel window of the second bay building has two plaques, one reads 'Where/ Edward Pease/ Resided/ 1820' and 'First/ Public Railway/ Inaugurated Here' Left Return: canted corner bay with second floor oriel window and four bays with entablature and rusticated Ionic pilasters; windows are all C20 replacements in moulded architraves, and those at first floor level have console-bracketed cornices. There is a modern shop front to the ground floor of the first bay. Rear (east) Elevation: scattered fenestration with numerous original openings with brick arches, many of which are blocked and several inserted openings. There are numerous small brick extensions. The left three bays are the most coherent, constructed of C18 brick with a round-headed stair window and an C18 rear range. INTERIOR: the ground floors are occupied by open-plan shops, and refurbishment has removed all original features. Other parts of the interior inspected revealed no historic features of note.

DARLINGTON Darlington Civic Theatre

Parkgate DARLINGTON DL1 1RR

504985 13/08/2008


Theatre, built in 1907 by C F Ward of Owen & Ward to designs by G. Gordon Hoskins of Darlington.

Grade: II MATERIALS: red brick with terracotta dressings and slate roof. PLAN: rectangular; central auditorium with a stage at the west end and flanking corridors around the other three sides giving access to administrative rooms, dressing rooms and foyers. EXTERIOR: Main (south) elevation: symmetrical 3 bay, 3 stage entrance pavilion with centrally placed main doors flanked by paired rectangular windows. The replacement cast iron canopy over has a pair of keyed occuli above. At first floor level ionic pilasters with swags support a scrolled gable with a semicircular lunette and exaggerated voussoirs creating a ‘sunburst’ pattern. This is flanked by tall roundheaded windows. A prominent pyramidal roof with iron cresting, towers above the gable. To the right of the entrance pavilion a plain single bay with a semi-circular lunette on the first floor, functions as the main stair to the dress circle. To the left are 2 identical bays with paired roundheaded windows on the ground floor, and single large semi-circular lunettes at first floor level flanked by ionic pilasters supporting shaped gables above; a modern attic level extension rises slightly above. The two end bays are plain with a stage door and 4-pane sash windows. Right Return to Borough Road: symmetrical 3 bay, 2 stage entrance pavilion with two double-height roundheaded doorways flanking a roundheaded 3-light window, with on the first floor a row of 3 sash windows with keyed surrounds and a rectangular plaque bearing ‘NEW HIPPODROME’ below a shaped gable. Above this rises a later brick projection room. To either side are single bays with a variety of window forms including keyed occuli and sliding sashes. The right end bay is a modern brick extension which is not of special interest. INTERIOR: the main entrance off Parkgate gives access to the front stalls and dress circle foyer; the double height foyer has an elegantly half panelled rear wall with original box office in centre. The original doorway to front stalls is to the right with original double 10-pane glass doors with a semicircular fanlight above, flanked by fluted ionic columns. The upper foyer walls are plain with a series of large plaster panels. A plain arched opening to the right leads up to the main staircase to the dress gallery with a plain entrance to the right giving modern access to the rear stalls. The auditorium has a dress circle and a balcony above with a single pedimented box on either side at circle level. All are ornamented with fine and richly decorated plaster ornamentation. The rectangular proscenium has a roll moulding and a central cartouche and the ante-proscenium walls and the area above the proscenium are decorated with bolection mouldings in a square panelled design. The circular ceiling set in a square has plaster ornamentation at each corner. Five sets of original fire-extinguisher fittings are present within the auditorium. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION DECISION This theatre of 1907 is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: - as a relatively rare survivor of an early variety theatre which pre-dates the Cinematographic Act of

1909, which prescribed the design of such buildings; - it has a distinctive exterior, whose balanced composition and detailing has not been compromised by the modern additions; - the original design and decorative scheme of the interior is well executed and largely intact; - the auditorium is complete with all key features remaining including the stage, fly hall, boxes, circle and gallery; significantly the original fly grid remains in place; - although there has been some alteration to the circulation within the theatre, this is minimal and reversible; - in the national context it compares favourably with listed examples of a similar date.

DARLINGTON St Hildas Church Parkgate DARLINGTON

10/118 28/04/1952


Church of St. Hilda

Grade: II 1887-8 by J L Pearson. MATERIALS: Red brick laid in English bond with sandstone dressings. PLAN. Nave. Chancel, N and S aisles, N porch, N chapel, S organ chamber/transept and vestries. EXTERIOR: Built in the Early English style. The W end, to the road has three tall lancet windows with double-chamfered frames divided by two tall, slender buttresses with offsets. The N and S sides have low lean-to buttressed aisles with paired lancet windows. The nave walls above have large triple graded lancet clerestory windows with rounded hoodmoulds. The S side has a moulded doorway with two-leaf door with decorative strap hinges. There is a N porch with a moulded outer doorway with engaged shafts with bell capitals. The tall, narrow S transept has a cusped circular window in the gable. The vestry block has a plate tracery E window and a transformed S two light window and a stack against the S transept. The N chapel is distinctive, its N wall being canted in to the E following the shape of the site, and has a striking, large five-light plate tracery E window. INTERIOR: The walls of the well proportioned interior {presently empty} are of bare red brick with bare sandstone dressings. The arcades have circular and octagonal piers, moulded capitals and double-chamfered arches. At the entrance to the chancel the arch is tall and has semi-circular responds. On the N of the chancel there is a two-bay arcade to the NE chapel which has been screened off. Over the nave is a lie-beam and crown-post roof. PRINCIPAL FIXTURES: Nearly all the fittings and stained glass have been removed. The font has an octagonal stone bowl on a stem with engaged shafts and an outer order of detached shafts. Stained glass survives in the upper part of the E window. SUBSIDIARY FEATURES: E of the Church and linked to it is the church hall, modest in scale with stone mullioned square--headed windows end entance on the S. HISTORY: The Church was built in 1887-8 to the designs of John Loughborough Pearson (1817-97), one of the greatest of all C19 church architects. He began practice In 1843 having trained in the offices of Ignatius Bonomi in Durham and Anthony Salvin and then Philip Hardwick in London, He was awarded the RIBA Royal Gold Medal in 1880 and is remembered for a series of exceptionally fine churches_ These often display strong French influence: Pearson's most famous building is Truro Cathedral, begun In 1880 and the first English cathedral built on a new site since Salisbury in the early C13, St Hilda's is in the mould of late 19th-century brick churches which were built with modest financial means but still strived and usually succeeded in creating quite a grand effect thanks to their scale and height, in this case A boldly massed composition (Pevsner and Williamson).

The church was declared redundant in 1986 and most of the fittings had been removed by 1987. In 1993 conversion was granted to a community centre, offices and residences. It was vandalised and fire damaged before the Light and Life Gypsy Church acquired the building in 1996 which still owns it (as at June 2009). SOURCES: Pevsner, N and Williamson, E., The Bulldings of England: County Durham (1983), 147. Darlington Borough Planning Departmant, file 96/600 REASONS FOR DESIGNATION: The church of St Hilda, Parkgate, Darlington, is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: It is of special interest as a late 19th-century brick church in the Early English built with limited financial means but nonetheless achieving a good architectural presence. It is a late work by J L Pearson, one of the greatest of all Victorian church architects. Despite the loss of its fixtures the interior retains its spatial quality.

DARLINGTON Polam Lane Bridge Polam Lane DARLINGTON

496054 16/08/2006


Polam Lane Bridge

Grade: II Footbridge, spanning the River Skerne c. 1891 of steel, iron and sandstone. North and south rusticated sandstone abutments with impost blocks each surmounted by two pillars extending above the deck, topped with moulded capstones. The bridge abutments support a steel girder bearing the bridge deck, supplemented by a pair of cast iron Corinthian columns placed in the centre of the riverbed. The bridge deck has an unusual style of ornate cast iron handrails with curvilinear supporting iron side brackets. History: Polam Lane Bridge was built to give access across the River Skerne between the end of Polam Lane to the north of the river and the newly built Victoria Embankment to the south. It also gave access to one of the main entrances to South Park, originally laid out in 1851 when it was known as Bellasses Park. The bridge design was put out to tender in March 1891 and it was constructed shortly afterwards. It appears on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1899. Bridges forming an essential part of a registered landscape are considered to meet the criteria for listing in a national context, even if they are not architecturally elaborate. This iron footbridge of c 1891 has decorative handrails of an unusual design and provides access to the northern corner of South Park across the River Skerne. Most importantly, it forms an essential element of the historic and registered South Park and it therefore fulfils the national criteria for listing.

DARLINGTON Stockton & Darlington Goods Shed North Road Station Station Road DARLINGTON

2/334 06/09/1977


Goods Shed East South East of North Road Station

Grade: IISTAR Goods shed, 1833 by Thomas Storey for the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company; altered 1839-40 by John Harris. Constructed of coursed square sandstone rubble with freestone dressings under welsh slate roofs. PLAN: single storey double pile with central valley and clock tower. Goods arrived by railway on tracks which entered the building transversely and passed through the building across its width. EXTERIOR: SOUTH ELEVATION: this is the south elevation of the original 1833 building. 8-bays with eight round-headed openings of two patterns depending on function; taller with narrow key stones, probably for vehicles and lower with slightly broader key stones probably held windows. Present windows with small panes and iron glazing. Divided by finely tooled pilasters forming reveals to the vehicle openings and rock-faced where they flank windows. Square ashlar clock tower rises through central valley with angle pilasters, Doric entablatures; original faces on all sides of tower now missing but surrounding raised voussoirs remain. NORTH ELEVATION: this is the north elevation of the 1839-40 extension. Replicated the south elevation with similar but not identical detailing, but now much altered. 8-bays with three shoulder-arched openings surviving with narrow and broad key blocks and similar margined and rock-face pilasters. Two windows with small panes and iron glazing. Other openings enlarged with timber lintels later and square-headed with some large doors for machinery. INTERIOR: retains part of the north wall of the original building of 1833 in the eastern half; this contains one high vehicle arch identical to its partner on the south elevation. Three cast iron columns on stepped stone footings have replaced the original wall in the western half. The building is divided by a north/south wall, which appears to be original to the enlarged building of 1839-40. The base of the clock tower is visible in the eastern half of the building with an internal wooden doorway giving access to the clock; it is supported by massive timbers in the western part of the building. Moderately low pitched double span hipped roofs are of bolted king posts and that in the western half of the building is obscured by a boarded ceiling. Two brick buildings attached to the east end of the north elevation and to the western gable in the 1950's and 60's, are not of special interest. HISTORY: The building is situated at the eastern side of the site known since the 1830's as North Road and developed by the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company between 1831 and 1853. This became the location for most of the Stockton and Darlington railways subsequent development in Darlington and all of the key buildings on this site are therefore from the first generation of the Railway Age. The goods shed was the first building to be erected on the site, designed by the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company's chief engineer Thomas Storey as the main point of goods handling for the Stockton & Darlington Railway and originally known as the "merchandise Station"; documentary evidence shows that contracts were let in November 1832 and the building was completed in 1833. In 1839-40, it was doubled in size by the addition of a range to the north designed by John Harris who had taken over as Stockton & Darlington Railway Company's chief engineer in 1836. Harris also constructed the clock tower, which had been planned at Darlington since 1838. In 1857 the goods shed ceased to be the main point of goods handling for the Stockton & Darlington Railway and between 1870 and 1898, it was converted into a fire station. In 1951, the fire station was converted into a depot for the maintenance of railway vehicles.

SOURCES: Unpublished summary of the site Conservation Plan (Department of Archaeology, University of York) by Robert Clarke, Museum Manager. SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE: This 1833 goods shed was designed by Thomas Storey and John Harris for the Stockton & Darlington Railway Company and it falls into the important first phase of development of the railway system between 1825 and 1841. It is of special interest because of its early date, its importance in the pioneering development of early goods station design and its rarity as a surviving example. It also possesses clear group value as a component of the Stockton & Darlington railway terminal complex, the world's first modern railway.

On the W side there are plainer square section piers, also with tiered caps and a single cast-iron gate with round-headed arches below the top rail. HISTORY: Holy Trinity was built as a chapel of ease to St Cuthber’s. church to meet the needs of the expansion of Darlington after the arrival of the railway. It was assigned a parish in 1843. Plans for the church were in place at least by June 1834 when application for a grant was made to the lncorporated Church Building Society. The foundation storne was laid on 4 October 1836. At that time it was expected that the church would have 1,010 seats of which 600 would be free. The final cost was £3,404. The architect, Anthony Salvin (1799-1881), was a significant figure in the late Georgian and early Victorian Gothic Revival, Born In Worthing, he was a pupil of a little-known architect named John Paterson (d 1832) and worked in the office of John Nash. He set up in independent practice in 1828 and early on showed his ability to create buildings in an impressively authentic medieval style. He is also well known for a range of country house work. At Holy Trinity he demonstrates a faithfulness to medieval Gothic that was unusual for its time. Salvin's biographer, Jill Allibone, says the church was quite the best thing Salvin had done up to this date’. Various changes took place during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1867 a chancel with a transeptal organ chamber and vestry was added by the local architect, J Ross. This was further extended c1898. The seating was renewed in 1883 and again in 1909 when the flat ceiling over the nave was removed, this work being supervised by the Durham architect C Hodgson Fowler (contractor R T Snalth and Son). The chancel was refitted in 1917-18. SOURCES, Allibone, J, and Salvin. A.. Pioneer of the Gothic Revival (1987), 111 , 162. Pevsner.

Holy Trinity chucth, Woodland Road. Darlington, Is designated at Grade II* for the following principal reasons: It is of considerable interest, even though .altered later for its historical importance as an early example of an Early English Gothic Revival church which follows medieval precedent reasonably faithfully. It is the best church by the nationally important architect Anthony Salvin in his career up until the lime it was built. It retains considerable amounts of fixtures from the 19th and early 20th centuries, including an impressive font and three very fine stained glass windows, one by Daniel Cottier and two by Edwin Cook.

Its building reflects Darlington's rapid growth at this time, and the desire to provide an imposing place or Anglican worship.

Heighington War Memorial

Grade: II Summary of Building First World War memorial, 1920, with later additions for the Second World War. Reasons for Designation Heighington War Memorial, which stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Michael, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world events on this local community, and the sacrifice it has made in the conflicts of the C20; Architectural interest: a richly ornamented memorial cross in the Celtic style; Group value: with the Church of St Michael (Grade I) and numerous listed churchyard monuments. History Heighington War Memorial was dedicated by Archdeacon Derry at a ceremony held on 25 August 1920. It commemorates 17 local servicemen who died in the First World War. Following the Second World War the names of ten men who died in that conflict were added. Details The memorial cross, c4m tall, stands at the southern edge of the churchyard of the Church of St Michael (Grade I-listed) and in close proximity to a number of other listed structures. Overlooking The Green, it takes the form of a granite Celtic cross that can be seen through a gap in the wall. The front face of the cross is decorated with elaborate carvings in relief, including hemispherical bosses on the wheel-head and scrolling vines on the shaft. The shaft rises from a tapering pedestal on which is inscribed THE WOMEN’S/ THANKOFFERING 1918. The pedestal stands on a three-stepped base of a different stone-type. The lower steps are let into the churchyard wall, with a small metal grill closing the gap. The top step of the base records the Second World War details, with 1939 – 1945 on the chamfered tread and ten names listed on the riser. An inscription on the riser of the middle step reads “WE WILL REMEMBER THEM” with PAX on the riser of the bottom step. Two stone plaques are let into the churchyard wall either side of the gap. To the left, the plaque reads 1914 – 1918/ (9 NAMES): to the right, 1914 – 1918/ (8 NAMES).

HEIGHINGTON PARISH Gates To Redworth Hall Hotel Redworth Road REDWORTH DL5 6NS

503947 18/12/2007


Gate piers and gates at the entrance to Redworth Hall. Early C19 for Robert Surtees, resited on a new entrance during the inter-war period.

Grade: II MATERIALS: sandstone rubble piers, wrought iron gates. Four rusticated tall, round piers with stepped copings and each carrying a ball finial. The two main gate piers have inset round medallions bearing the Surtees' crest. The entrance contains original ornamental double wrought iron gates flanked by single, narrow gates. The main gates have the letters V and S incorporated in their wrought iron work. HISTORY: Redworth Hall, which is listed in Grade II, has its origins in the early C17 and has been in the ownership of the Surtees family for generations. Robert Surtees, a relation of the celebrated Historian Robert Surtees of Mainsforth lived at the hall in the early C19 when these gate posts and piers were said to have been erected. They are believed to have been a wedding present to his wife Elizabeth, whom records show he married in 1811. Ordnance Survey maps show that in the mid-CIS, the main and probably original entrance to the estate lay to the east, and the hall was accessed along a curving driveway. Between 1923 and 1939, a new and longer drive was created to the west of the hall with its entrance on Park House Lane. The hall now operates as a hotel and both of the former entrances and drives have gone out of use and a new hotel entrance has been created to the north. DESCRIPTION: These gates and gateposts are located at the entrance to the second driveway which map analysis shows was not constructed until at least the mid 1920s. They comprise a set of double wrought iron gates supported by a pair of gate piers flanked by single, narrow gates supported on the other side by another gate pier. The piers, which are identical, are tall columns of rustic sandstone rubble with offset bases and stepped copings with ball finials. The two main piers have inset bronze medallions of theSurtees family crest. The ornamental wrought iron gates carry a circular motif containing the letters V and S probably denoting the Surtees family. Abutting stone walls to either side are C20 in date. SOURCES: ww.british-historv.ac.uk REASON FOR DESIGNATION DECISION * It is an elegant example of an early CIS country house entrance * It has Group Value with the listed Redworth Hall and although it has been moved it retains its landscape context in relation to the Hall. * its association with one of Durham's major families is explicit in the incorporation of the Surtees' crests and the letters VS Signed by authority of the

Hurworth on Tees War Memorial

Grade: II History The aftermath of the First World War saw the biggest single wave of public commemoration ever with tens of thousands of memorials erected across England. This was the result of both the huge impact on communities of the loss of three quarters of a million British lives, and also the official policy of not repatriating the dead: therefore the memorials provided the main focus of the grief felt at this great loss. One such memorial, provided by J Johnson of Darlington, was raised at Hurworth on Tees as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by 38 members of the local community who lost their lives in the First World War. Following the Second World War the names of 15 men who died in that conflict were added. Details The memorial stands in the churchyard of the Church of All Saints (Grade II-listed), close to the lychgate (not listed) and overlooking Church View. It takes the form of a Celtic cross in rough-hewn grey granite that rise from a tapering plinth. The plinth stands on a low step. To the rear of the plinth a granite panel bears the Second World War dedication, 1939 – 1945/ WE WILL REMEMBER THEM/ (NAMES). The whole memorial stands in a small square enclosure defined by a low kerb. The front face of the cross head is ornamented with a slightly raised and polished cross, below which on the cross shaft is a raised and polished panel bearing the principal dedicatory inscription. That reads IN PROUD/ AND LOVING/ MEMORY OF/ THOSE WHO/ DIED FOR/ KING AND/ COUNTRY/ 1914-1918/ LEST WE FORGET/ ERECTED/ BY THE/ WOMEN AND/ CHILDREN/ OF/ HURWORTH/ AND/ NEASHAM. The commemorated First World War names are listed on three faces of the plinth.

KILLERBY PARISH Dovecote The Grange KILLERBY DARLINGTON

506242 19/02/2010


Dovecote with ground floor storage, circa 1800

Grade: II MATERIALS: Stone with brick detailing; pan tiled roof PLAN: Roughly square at Killerby EXTERIOR: A two-slorey building with a ground floor storage area and a dovecote chamber above, reached by stone steps on the north-east side. The doorway has a large stone lintel and contains a boarded wooden door. A circular window with brick surround is to the left. The steps to first floor have been placed against a blocked ground floor door. The storage area is accessed by an entrance at ground floor level on the south-west side containing a boarded door beneath a stone lintel. A centrally placed circular window in a brick surround lies above the door. A double course of landing perches run at a higher level around all sides except the south-west and a flight hole is located in the upper courses of the south-east side. INTERIOR: The first floor chamber has 160 original nest boxes around all four walls. The timber roof structure is a modern replacement and a modern inserted wooden floor separates the dovecote chamber from the storage area below. HISTORY: Killerby Grange and associated buildings including the dovecote are believed to date from circa 1800. The water pump to the rear of the house is marked with the date 1804 and the dovecote is depicted on the first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1895. It is possible that all of the buildings have earlier origins. The dovecote is thought to have been a tall single-storey building, which was later converted by the insertion of a wooden floor into a two-storey building with storage space below. SOURCES: Pevsner, N. 1983. The Buildings of England: County Durham 2nd Edition revised by Elizabeth Williamson, pp. 344; Dovecotes: Oxford Archaeological Unit 1995 English Heritage MPP Step 1 and Step 3 Reports. REASONS FOR DESIGNATION DECISION: This dovecote with integral store of circa 1800 is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: It is a good example of its type, which retains original external architectural features The building is a distinctive vernacular building type, recognised as an important component of fanmsteads and country estates from the Medieval period to the late C 19 The dovecote retains at least 160 original intact nest boxes in the upper floor The building belongs to a distinctive group of fanm buildings forming the Killerby Grange complex and has a strong visual association with the listed farrnhouse.
