*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 Michael

A sturdy Norman building, with massive buttresses, built just outside the site of the westernmost fort on Hadrian’s Wall. Its 17th-century bells, which can be seen in the church, have a fascinating history relating to the violent times of the Border reivers. Of special interest is the beautifully carved Norman font, and a good collection of 20th century stained glass windows. Come and be surprised! The Millennium Banner reflects life today on the Solway, as does the fine collection of embroidered kneelers. In the churchyard there is an 18th century sundial, a smuggler’s grave and a hearse house.

All are welcome to our services and events.
