St Maurice, Eglingham
-
Description
"In the 12th century Ceolwulf, the Saxon king of Northumbria, granted the hamlet of Eglingham to the monastery at Lindisfarne. A church was built on this site of which only the chancel arch remains today. However, Pevsner, in his ‘Buildings of England’ Northumberland, described St. Maurice as a ‘much restored but picturesque’ church. The West Tower is likely of C13th origin, and the paired lancets of the belfry show that Alnwick Castle Barbican and Ingram Church tower could be it’s brother & sister churches made by the same craftsmen....." -
