  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

Kit Hobkirk, Director of Music at the Parish Church, will demonstrate the Parish Church's fine pipe organ and talk about how music can aid worship

When George Fenwick was Governor of Berwick in the 17th century, funds were raised to build the church using stone and timber from the disused Castle. It was completed in 1652. It was designed and built as a Puritan place of worship consisting of a regular nave with 2 side aisles and no chancel. It has no tower or steeple, reputedly at the express orders of Oliver Cromwell.

Come and see this really unusual church and enjoy listening to it's beautiful organ.
