About Us

Our church community

We are a friendly  parish with a mission to share Godā€™s love, grow together and enjoy community. If you are into history then St Mary's will be right up your street. Our Saxon Tower stands in its commanding position on the north side of the Tyne Valley and stands as beacon of Christian mission for over 1,000 years. 

Working with Wylam

We share our priest in charge with St Oswin in Wylam and are exploring ways in which we can bring our worshipping communities closer together.
