. "The township of Ryton comprises an area of about 1200 acres, & its ratable value in January 1894 was £16,452.
"The village of Ryton is charmingly situated upon a steep & richly wooded bank, rising from the river Tyne, 7 miles west from Newcastle. A finer situation could hardly be imagined, being, as it is, surrounded by scenery of the most picturesque descriptions.The view to the north-west from the churchyard, up the Tyne valley, is equal to anything in the North. The village in itself is extremely pleasant & interesting, & possesses many fine mansions with well wooded grounds. The addition of several handsome terraces & villas during the last 30 years has greatly improved the village. Ryton has long been a popular resort during the summer months, & its well known salubrity attracts many who are in failing health. In the centre of the village stands the picturesque village cross, bearing date 1795.
