Further along Jesmond Road from Jesmond Old Cemetery is All Saints. It was designed by Benjamin Green, who also designed the Theatre Royal, and opened in 1857. There are two chapels in the cemetery. Among the headstones and memorials can be found the final resting place of Antonio Marcantonio, the founder of Mark Toney Ice Cream Parlours, Samuel Smith who together with William Titterington started Ringtons Tea Company, and Thomas Harrison Hair, an artist whose work is displayed at the Hatton Gallery and the Laing Art Gallery.
