This is NOT Usworth Hall!  This is Usworth House, aka Peareth Hall.

Great Usworth:  Candy Bank on Peareth Hall Road.
Up the bank the road curves left before passing Holy Trinity Church.

[ Who remembers the Gents Urinal halfway up the Bank, on the right?  Sadly, the Ladies had to wait! ]

Having driven down Candy Bank, passing the Tithe Barn, a Birtley Cooperative Society Van heads towards
the Red Lion (behind bushes) and the Blue Bell - which is adjacent to the former site of the New Found Out Inn (closed 1932).

The Tithe Barn set back from Peareth Hall Road.  Holy Trinity Church is on the left.
Tithes were taxes (one tenth of the annual produce) which were levied to support the local Church & Clergy.
