St Oswin's Church from lychgate
Image: © Andrew Curtis Taken: 27 Apr 2018
The lychgate is described here Image Latin words carved on the interior panelling are in memory of Richard Clayton who lived at Wylam Hall and died in 1903. His wife continued to live at the Hall until 1909, then moved to 'Elmfield' at the corner of Station Road and Wylam Wood Road. There is also a memorial window to him in St Oswin's Church Image as he was instrumental in the campaign to have it built, avoiding the need for villagers to travel to St Mary’s in Ovingham. The church was completed in 1886, funded by George and William Hedley, in memory of their parents, William Hedley, the pioneering railway engineer, and his wife Francis.
