Description
Church High School is an important building in Jesmond’s history and character. This imposing Victorian red brick structure is aesthetically appealing, and adds value to the surrounding area. The façade has detailed floral decoration on its gables and elaborate sculptures around its main door. The building was constructed in 1889 and opened by the Church School’s Company a year later. In 1925 it was renamed Newcastle upon Tyne Church High School. LOCAL LIST
