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.

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.
