About Us

Old Church was built in the 12th Century. Tradition has it that the church is a site where the body of St Cuthbert's rested whilst on its long journey from Lindisfarne to what would become Durham Cathedral. Little remains of the medieval church with much of the stone having been used to build St Cuthbert's in Haydon Bridge.

Old Church is part of the John Martin Heritage trail: https://www.haydon-bridge.co.uk/docs/JohnMartin.pdf
