The Chapel of Sandiburnesele (Coanwood)
Adam de Tindale, who died before 1190, gave the chapel of Sandiburnesele to the convent of nuns at Lambley [NY 65 NE 5]. It probably stood in the Asholm grounds, on the spot called Chapel [NY 6854 5858] in Armstrong's map, and was in old times the place of worship for people on the east side of the TYNE, within the parish of Lambley '... a place called Chapel, which is now a public house' [NY 6857 5829].

Chapel consists of a farmhouse and cottages, all of a late period of construction, deserted and in a great state of decay. There are no traces of a chapel. Chapel New Houses is a row of modern cottages, one of which is an inn, the Sportsman's Arms. There appears to be no local knowledge of the original site of the Chapel. (2)
Chapel has been demolished, otherwise no further information. (3)
