Longhoughton Parish Heritage Exhibition
St Peter and St Paul's Church, North End, Longhoughton, Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66 3AG
Local volunteers have created an exhibition looking at the history of the building, churchyard, and the people of Longhoughton and Boulmer who have used it over the centuries. We have recorded 249 gravestones around the church and built up a database of old records to help our research. We are hoping to connect this to records of the gravestones, to make a resource of how they appear now, before more inscriptions are lost.
The exhibition comprises display boards featuring some of our favourite stories we have uncovered during our research. Please note the exhibition may be paused for church services as required by the community. Lighting is on a motion-sensor timer activated at the door, and not all areas in the church are wheelchair accessible. Please get in touch by emailing [email protected] if you have any questions before visiting.
Colouring sheets will be available for children to design their own stained glass window. Members of the group will be available to talk about the stories and local family history on Saturday 12th, and visitors can join us in recording the last section of the churchyard.
