Tweedmouth Parish Church of St Bartholomew and St Boisil

The Church of St Bartholomew and St Boisil in Tweedmouth is a Grade II listed building and a rare example of a pre-Victorian Church with later additions. It stands on the site of earlier churches going back to at least the 12th century.

There is a Georgian gallery with its original four pews and many other interesting features including a reredos which is a World War I memorial to John Kincaid, Coldstream Guards. The Churchyard which was closed in 1864, has the grave of John Mackay Wilson, author of Wilson’s Tales of the Borders; William Stephenson, a train driver killed in one of the earliest railway accidents, the local philanthropist Rev John Leech and Ralph Dixon whose pension, granted by Nelson are noted on the rear of the battle plans for Trafalgar.
Recent research has also revealed footings of a medieval Church tower and a much earlier section of cuboid stonework.

Everyone is welcome to join the Church Service at 10 am on Sunday which will have a heritage theme.
