Church of St Cuthbert, Carham


The present church at Carham in Northumberland was built in 1790 on the site of a much earlier church. A daughter house of Lindisfarne may have been established by St Cuthbert somewhere in the Carham area in the second half of the 7th century, but this was destroyed during a border raid in 1296. In the 16th century a small Anglican church was built before being replaced by the current church. The West Tower, chancel and vestry were added in c.1864. In 2002-4, major repairs were undertaken to the tower after huge cracks had appeared. The church is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England. It is located near the banks of the River Tweed, just 200yds from Scotland.
