In case I have inadvertently confused the issue, A Venerable Bede Church was opened in Monkwearmouth in the last quarter of the 19th century. It was situated near the Wheatsheaf and as it had no special characteristics I doubt that it would have been moved to the U.S.A..

I was born and raised in Monkwearmouth in the 1950's and christened in the 7th century St. Peter's Church.

St. Peter's Church was commonly called The Venerable Bede Church because he did, of course live there in the 7th century. As far as I can recollect it has some of the oldest Anglo-Saxon stonework in the country.

The church is certainly still there and open to the public.

ShaunJ,

Many thanks for the information. I thought that I was going crackers as I successfully sent some photographs a few days ago.

Many thanks.

How embarrassing. I am even more pig thick than I realised. I am pleased that I am anonymous.

I can't find "Add Picture" anywhere.

Elliven,

I recently sent some photos of Clough Dene as attachments but I can't remember how I browsed my computer to select the photos to attach.

I feel as thick as a plank.

Have you any suggestion?

Elliven,

Where did you get the information that he was a beer retailer?

I have two old photographs, one of which shows THE GREEN TREE INN, the proprietor being J. T. Ridley.  The other photograph does not show a name board and appears to be a totally different building.

Do you want copies?
