CONSECRATION OF THE NEW CEMETERY AT ALNWICK

On Thursday, the Bishop of Durham, accompanied by a number of the clergy of the district, proceeded to the new burial ground for the purpose of consecrating it. It is situated one mile from Alnwick, on the west side of the road to Newcastle. The entrance is through a Gothic arch, with a smaller one on each side, resembling the gable end of a house, and looking rather more curious than imposing. On the left hand is the residence of the keeper of the cemetery, and a little to the west thereof is the chapel for the Nonconformists,   Directly opposite is the chapel for those who profess the established religion, They are all built in the early English style. The east window of the north chapel has geometrical tracery, and there is a pretty campanile attached. The workmanship of the buildings is very good, and was done by Messrs Armstrong and Hudspeth the contractors, after designs by F. R. Wilson Esq., president, architect of Alnwick Castle.
