Edlingham Castle is a small castle ruin, having Scheduled Ancient Monument and Grade I listed building status, in the care of English Heritage, in a valley to the west of Alnwick, Northumberland, England. It has been described as "...one of the most interesting in the county", by Nikolaus Pevsner, the architectural historian Edlingham itself is little more than a hamlet with a church alongside the castle. St John the Baptist is a mediaeval (11th century) church in Edlingham in the English county of Northumberland. The church is mostly Norman, from two periods, the late 11th – early 12th Century and late 12th century. The chancel arch and the south porch, with its rare Norman tunnel vault, are late 11th century, and the north aisle arcade is from the late 12th century. The columns are circular and the capitals are scalloped with bands of nail-head. The defensible west tower may also have been begun in the late 12th century, but completed later.

Alnwick Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in England. Home to the Duke of Northumberland's family, the Percys, for over 700 years, it has witnessed drama, intrigue, tragedy and romance.

A warm welcome greets you at Holy Trinity Old Bewick. Old Bewick is a special place, sited up a single track track road with verge parking. It is a perfect place to come and just 'be'. Built in a truly tranquil spot, a hollow surrounded by woods and bordered by a stream with a stone clapper style bridge-Old Bewick exudes a peacefulness and calm in this busy world of ours. Part of the Glendale Churches Heritage Trail , Old Bewick has had 900 years of 'storm and strife' from Scots invasions and the weather! Built in 12th C and restored in 13th and 14th C. In 1695 the Nave was fully restored and again in 1866 the Chapel was re-roofed. The Apse is quite a wonder to behold. There is both Anglo-Saxon and Norman influences in evidence both inside and outside the church. It certainly is worth the visit and walk around our old graveyard. This beautiful chapel has services every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at 9.30 a.m. Please come and join us- you will be warmly welcomed.
