#TynedaleOnThursday: St Mary’s Chare in #Hexham. St Mary’s was the town’s original parish church, demolished at the Reformation when the dissolved Augustinian Priory took over its function. The street cuts through the site of the church from the market square east of #HexhamAbbey.

Dedicated to our favourite indie bookshop, #CogitoBooks in St Mary’s Chare!

#TynedaleOnThursday: the east end of St Andrew’s Church, Corbridge. Early English lancets, 13th century. By then the church had already been in existence for 550 years (founded in 672 by St #Wilfrid, so one of the North East’s earliest churches). ⁦‪

The churchyard of St Oswald in Lee. This is the presumed site of King Oswald’s victory over Cadwallon of Gwynedd at the Battle of Heavenfield in 633. The little church marks the spot where Oswald is believed to have raised his cross & prayed before the battle.
