St Mary's Related Historic Buildings |
| Many buildings in Barnard Castle are historically linked with St Mary's, several significant but 'redundant' buildings have found new uses over the years; | ||
| The Castle, built by Bernard Baliol (who also founded St. Mary's Church) in the 12th Century, and now a ruin, has one of the finest examples of a round tower. As a penance for assaulting the Bishop of Durham, John Baliol built a hostel for poor students which eventually became Baliol College, Oxford. | ![]() | |
| The 'Old Vicarage', Newgate , built for Revd. George Dugard, is now a very desirable private residence. | | |
