In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described St Marys Island like this:
BATE'S ISLAND, a small island in Earsdon parish, Northumberland; nearly opposite Hartley, 4½ miles SSE of Blyth. Here are remains of a chapel and a hermitage. Here also is a small harbour, made by Lord Delaval, for sheltering fishermen in storms.
St Marys Island is now part of NORTH TYNESIDE District. Click here for graphs and data of how NORTH TYNESIDE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about St Marys Island itself, go to Statistics.
