*We are pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Riding Lights Theatre Company at St John’s for a performance of their newest production, Cups on a String.

“Joe’s nine and home is hard. School is even harder. He breaks stuff: pencils, chairs, rules. One
thing he won’t break is his silence.
Heather’s fifty-seven. She’s got a comfortable life and a comfortable home. But once a week,
every week, she spends a very uncomfortable hour – with Joe.
Where will this journey of hours and weeks take them?”

St Mary's

A warm welcome awaits everyone who visits St Mary's, whether for a service or to view the commanding view of the Solway and of the surrounding countryside 

 This was the site of a Roman turret (70A) on Hadrian’s Wall. Long after the Romans departed the site was again used for defensive purposes; the mound on which the 12th century church stands was a Norman motte (a small castle) belonging to the Le Brun family. The village green was the site of the castle’s bailey, or courtyard.The simplicity of the light interior of this small church, with its Norman doorway and 16th century roof, offers the visitor a peaceful place to absorb its history, described on three panels covering prehistoric times to the present day.

The Church holds a number of services - details of which can be found on our services and events page. Inside the church the silence is complete; open the door for the sound of birdsong. Leave feeling refreshed. We look forward to seeing you.
