I've just found a christening on the IGI for JAMES ANGUS and the place of the christening is given as "Groat Market Meeting-Nc, Newcastle Upon Tyne NBL"". Does anyone know anything about this palace?

Quakers neither practise baptism nor celebrate the Eucharist.

Groat Market Meeting-NC, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland was an English Presbyterian Church built in 1708. It was succeeded by the John Knox Presbyterian on Berwick Street in 1853 and exactly 100 years later, in 1953, this closed and the congregation joined with that of a new (1943) church
at West Denton.

That's really interesting - what is the source please because I'm sure that you haven't got it in memory

It's always best to give sources, especially if you quote verbatim
