Sir Charles Mark Palmer’s Funeral

Sir Charles was seen as a great benefactor both locally (he lived at Grinkle Hall, Grinkle Park – now a hotel) and at Jesmond, near Newcastle. This is the second postcard view of the funeral on March the 7th, 1907 filled the little church at Easington, which he had erected as a memorial for his wife. This postcard view of the event was also produced by Cattani of Redcar.
