St Cuthbert's Norham
Norham Church is dedicated to St Cuthbert, whose body is said to have rested here on its long journey to Durham, prompted by Viking raids in the 9thC. The body of St Ceolwulf (to whom the Venerable Bede’s History of the English Church and People is dedicated) is reputed to be buried somewhere in the churchyard.
Norham Church has much to offer, as well as a place of worship on a Sunday, it is also a community place where people enjoy a variety of musical events, concerts, plays, and get-togethers.
The church is kept open during daylight hours for those who come to look around, learn about the history, pray, sit quietly, or enjoy the space.
Norham Church meets to worship every Sunday at 10.00 am. We have a well-established choral tradition and, on most Sundays, the Church Choir plays an important part, together with our excellent organ (and organist). On the first Sunday, we aim to be more informal and experimental, with the help of the Norham Junior Singers.
The church building has good acoustics, and the Concert Planning Group organises a variety of concerts during the warmer months of the year. We have good links with the local Church of England First School.
