St Peter’s Parish Church (at Chillingham Castle) NORTHUMBERLAND ENGLAND





Chillingham Castle

This little 12th century church retains its Norman stonework exterior. The interior is an unusual mixture of old and new. Ancient exterior stone work houses 19th century boxed pews and a sanctuary completely refurbished in 1967. Christian worship has taken place on this site for more than a thousand years.

The South Chapel contains the alabaster tomb of Sir Ralph Grey and his wife Elizabeth. Even though it dates back to 1450, traces of the original colors are still visible.
