Churches in Northumberland

Church life in Northumberland

Northumberland is the cradle of Christianity in the north of England. From Lindisfarne, Aidan and Cuthbert carried the faith across the kingdom of Northumbria in the seventh century, and Holy Island still draws pilgrims across the causeway today. Sturdy medieval churches stand in market towns and remote valleys alike.

Whether you are in Morpeth or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of Northumberland.
