Ponteland Church, Northumberland, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Ponteland Church, Northumberland, 1854. Church of St Mary the Virgin, ...built, probably, in the early part of the thirteenth century, although its tower betokens an earlier date, in its Norman doorway entering from the west. The body of the Church is in a mixed style of architecture - Gothic, Transitional, Florid, Venetian, and bad Modern...Few persons can fail to have remarked the dank and cavernous appearance of the walls of churches in rural districts; indicating dampness and other unhealthy conditions of such edifices...The interior has hitherto been, like too many of our country churches, damp, cold, unaired, with walls discoloured by the grass outside; and the woodwork decayed, and sending off offensive odours....the earth was removed from the walls outside, and a most effectual drainage carried out...Stoves and flues have been introduced...[for heating]'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854. Heritage Images features heritage image collections. © The Print Collector/Heritage Images

Ponteland Church, Northumberland, 1854: A Transformation from Damp and Decay This print depicts the Church of St Mary the Virgin in Ponteland, Northumberland, England, as it appeared in 1854. The church, believed to have been built in the early thirteenth century, showcases a unique blend of architectural styles, including Gothic, Transitional, Florid, Venetian, and even some bad Modern elements. The Norman doorway, visible on the left side of the image, hints at the church's ancient origins. For centuries, rural churches like St Mary's had suffered from dampness and unhealthy conditions, as evidenced by the dank and cavernous appearance of their walls. The interior was equally uninviting, with discolored walls, decayed woodwork, and offensive odors. However, in the mid-nineteenth century, efforts were made to improve the conditions of country churches. In Ponteland, the earth was removed from the church walls, and an effective drainage system was installed to combat dampness. Warming stoves and flues were introduced to provide heat, making the space more comfortable and habitable. This transformation was documented in the Illustrated London News in 1854, which reported on the renovations and the positive impact they had on the church and its congregation. The print, likely produced as a record of these improvements, captures the church's newfound vitality and the dedication of those who worked to preserve this historic building for future generations.
