Hunstanworth from Bale Hill
Hunstanworth is one of the 'Thankful Villages' (a term popularised by the writer Arthur Mee in the 1930s) that suffered no fatalities during the Great War of 1914-1918. The unusual patterns in the roof tiles was a creation of architect Samuel Sanders Teulon who had been commissioned by Reverend Daniel Capper, landowner who would stay in Newbiggin Hall during the grouse shooting season, to build a new church, school, reading room, shop and workers' terraced cottages in 1863. The distinctive diamond-patterned, steep-pitched roofs and Victorian Gothic detail make Hunstanworth unique among the villages of the North Pennines. Closure of the local lead mines in the 1880s diminished the 800 strong population (778 in 1861) to just 200 by 1901. The population of the village in 2011 was 116. John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72 informs us that "the church was rebuilt in 1865, at a cost of £2,500".

Row of houses in Hunstanworth
The small settlement of Hunstanworth has hardly a dozen houses, several of them being in view in this image; they're on the north side of the only road. The top of the church tower rises above the roofs.

St James Church, Hunstanworth
This church was built in 1862-63 and replaced a smaller church that had been built in 1781. The Tower is 80 ft high with a pyramid roof originally crowned with gilt cardinals and a cock. The decorative slating of the roof is an interesting feature of this church.
