Gravestone, St. Bartholomew's Churchyard, Station Road, Benton
Whilst gravestones, or grave markers as they were more commonly known, are thought to have existed for some 3,000 years, it wasn't until the 19th century, that they started to become commonplace in society. As such, inscriptions began to become more detailed and often included a few words about the deceased. As well as more descriptive inscriptions, during the Victorian era (1837-1901), more elaborate monuments and gravestones began to appear in marble, wood, iron and granite. This gravestone pre-dates the church by 30 years although there has been a church on this site since the 9th century.

St. Bartholomew's Church, Station Road, Benton
There has been a church on this site since the 9th century, and, although the present church dates from 1790, it can be assumed that there has been some form of churchyard on this site since the earlier date. Designed by William Newton, this Grade II Listed building was described in Nikolaus Pevsner's 1992 book, 'The Buildings of England Northumberland', as, "in Gothic style, designed after a career devoted almost entirely to the classical".
