In the village of Norham, are two interesting bits of history. First there is the Norham Castle which we could only see at a modest distance since it is closed during the week this time of year. I fail to see why a place that free to enter should be closed when it is already a ruin!
The other place is St. Cuthbert's church. A building with a curious mixture of very old and just really old...roman and gothic windows. Ecgred of Lindisfarne (or Egfrid) was Bishop of Lindisfarne from 830 until his death in 845 (Wikipedia). He replaced the wooden church on this site with one of stone. With modification and improvements over the centuries, here it is.
