Photo of Morpeth, The Chantry From The Old Bridge c.1960

More about this scene

This photograph was taken from the old footbridge, of which only the central pier and abutments remain; the cast iron section was added in 1869. The building in the centre of the picture with the bellcote is The Chantry; it is thought to have been founded by Robert of Morpeth around 1296. The Chantry was partially remodelled in the 1730s and underwent a sympathetic restoration in 1980. Over on the right is the Telford Bridge of 1829-31 designed by John Dobson.
