Parish Church of Holy Trinity and St Mary - Stained Glass Windows Guided Tour
Parish Church of Holy Trinity and St Mary's, Parade, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, TD15 1DF
When George Fenwick was Governor of Berwick in the 17th century, funds were raised to build the church using stone and timber from the disused Castle. It was completed in 1652. It was designed and built as a Puritan place of worship consisting of a regular nave with 2 side aisles and no chancel. It has no tower or steeple, reputedly at the express orders of Oliver Cromwell. This is the most northerly Anglican Church in England and the only example of a Commonwealth Church still actively used for worship today.
