Step into St Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne, as its parishioners once knew it: a church of carved shields, ancient brasses and crowded memorials. Beneath stone, forgotten lives endure. In this meticulous monumental inscriptions collection and armorial bearings catalogue, Moses Aaron Richardson gathers the heraldic devices, inscriptions and memorial records of the Church of St Nicholas and the chapelries of Gosforth and Cramlington. Names, dates, offices and kinships are set alongside a substantial antiquarian church history of St Nicholas itself, opening a vivid window onto medieval and Victorian Newcastle, its worship, benefactors and civic life, and the intertwined worlds of English heraldry and arms, church monuments and epitaphs. For local historians and genealogists, this volume is a rich family history research reference, rooted in Newcastle upon Tyne genealogy and the wider story of Northumberland parish churches. Its careful recording of memorials complements english parish register transcriptions and other northern England church records, anchoring elusive ancestors to specific aisles, chantries and chapels. Antiquaries, heraldry enthusiasts and collectors of classic topography will value its blend of narrative, documentary detail and precise description. First issued in the nineteenth century, it has long been prized yet hard to obtain beyond specialist libraries. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
