Acomb, St. John of Beverley at St. John Lee. NY 933 657. © Bill Henderson (2011). Link.
Allendale.
Alnmouth, St. John the Baptist. © David Gallimore. Link. Methodist Church, founded as Wesleyan in 1891. © Peter Morgan (2009). Two further views - 1, 2. Both © David Gallimore (2009). Hanwick Hall, which Peter advises is "thought to have been Methodist". The same building can be seen from the other side in this old photo. Notwithstanding this, I can find no web text reference to Hanwick Hall, so can you confirm that it was indeed a Methodist Chapel? © Peter Morgan (2009). David Gallimore has sent a photo of Hindmarsh Hall, which is evidently the same building as Hanwick Hall. Previously a granary and corn exchange, it was converted to serve as a church in 1859, in which use it continued until 1876 when St. John was opened. © David Gallimore. Link.
Alnwick.

Birdhope Craig, Scotch Church (closed since about 2006). Another view. NY 828 982. Although the plaque says 1826, Tony has a family baptism here from 1824, so this probably isn't the first building on the site. Both Anthony Preston.

Fourstones, St. Aidan (or Aiden). © Bill McKenzie (2010).

Glanton, St. Andrew, Anglican and U.R.C. On a visit in 2008, I could only find this one church, despite the OS map showing two. Also, Pevsner (revised edition, 2001) lists only the U.R.C. church, originally Presbyterian, but doesn't give it a dedication. GENUKI lists a St. Peter, but this Glanton newsletter from 2005 mentions the up-coming closure of this church. Presumably St. Peter has been demolished, and the now combined CoE and U.R.C. was re-named St. Andrew after 2005. Unless you know better.....   © Steve Bulman.
