The church building (not the tower) is very much like that of the church of St Hilda South Shields

Thank you, I lived in Tynemouth and when I first moved there I honestly thought it was a factory. That was probably because the only buildings that were that size that I had known growing up in Lancashire were mills. The history is wonderful and I never knew any of it, especially tickled to see a man from my home town of Bolton was involved in the design.

Hi Mike l really enjoyed this. I was a planner based in North Shields between 86 and 92, probably at its lowest point, although l am originally from Ipswich. I had not fully appreciated the Georgian parts were part of a master plan. Reminds me of Birkenhead which was also a planned Georgian town which failed to fully materialise although at a slightly later date. If l can find an excuse to go back l will pop into the Low Lights.

Sir James was my great grandfathers brother Herbert Knott I am an Australian such a fascinating story. I will definitely be visiting the Newcastle area & to see the church named after his two sons killed in the war.. my great grandfather named his house in Sydney Australia “Wylam” I grew up hearing these stories of Sir James.

I may be a very distant relative of this man since I am a Knott also. However, I am located in America and am descended from James Knott of 1617.

A excellent snapshop of the life of Sir James Knott, he was an incredibly generous man and his legacy lives on through the Sir James Knott Trust. As Trust Secretary from 2002-2016, I never ceased to be astrouned by the continuing discovery of the achievements and generosity of Sir James Knott and his family.
