"This parish formerly included the whole of the joint-townships of Hedworth, Monkton, and Jarrow, but on the formation of the parish of St. Cuthbert Hebburn in 1875, and that of Hedworth in 1878, those portions of the parish became separate. Jarrow parish now includes the whole of the municipal borough and the village of Monkton, and comprises, in addition to the mother parish of St. Paul's, the ecclesiastical parishes of Christ Church and St. Peter's.
"The Township - Jarrow is a part of the joint-townships of Hedworth, Monkton, and Jarrow, whose united area is 2826 acres, and ratable value £185,000."
