Elsdon: St Cuthbert

Welcome to St Cuthbert's in Elsdon - we are glad you found us!

The church is open to visitors every day (usually 9am-5pm) as a quiet place for contemplation, prayer and exploration.  St. Cuthbert's has a long and interesting history, with Roman & Saxon burial stones, medieval building works from 12th century onwards, and Victorian alterations creating a complex building that speaks of the long Christian history of our area. For full details see the 'History of St Cuthbert's Church' in our 'News' section. For our church magazine please see the News and notices/ Notice sheets section.
