St Michael's is the Anglican parish church of Alnwick. The Grade I listed building has its origins in Saxon times, and was handsomely rebuilt in the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries. It is open for visitors, and holds regular services, to which all are welcome.

The Church of Saint Romald is situated in the charming and picturesque village of Romaldkirk and is well worth visiting. The church is an impressive structure in the centre of the village and, as far as I am aware, is the only church that is dedicated to St Romald, who was apparently the son of a Northumbrian King, albeit there are no historical records attesting to that “fact”. The interior of the church is spacious and has a wonderfully “rough” feel to it, and the bulk of the stonework, with open faced walls almost like drystone dykes, is lovely. As is the case with most ancient churches, the actual age of the structure spans several centuries and the oldest parts of the church, the walls on either side of the Chancel Arch, date back to Saxon times. There is much of interest to discover here, and there is a most useful guide outlining the main things to see. I won’t therefore list them here, but highlights for me were the font, which is either Norman or a 13th century copy (how shocking!); and the remains of the old pulpit, dating from 1728, which includes a clerk’s pew, a woman’s “churching” pew, and the reader’s pew. This is the first time I’ve come across a woman’s churching pew and I believe that the ritual of “churching” a woman was to bless and purify her after childbirth. I also liked the effigy of Sir Hugh Fitzhenry, which is situated in the north transept, and has splendid detail of the armour. And almost best of all was coming out of the church and taking time to take in the sheer beauty and peaceful ambience of the village in front of me. In a way, it felt rather timeless - apart from the two pubs of course!

So much thought and hard work has clearly gone in to this and it’s paid off. It’s beautiful and really informative. Great if you’re at all interested in educating yourself about the areas’ history.
