Carham
St Cuthbert's sits on the site of an ancient church, the date of which is unknown but is certainly tenth century and quite possibly as early as the seventh century. The present building was built in 1790, extended during the 1860's and major rebuilding of the tower took place in 2004. A peaceful rural setting overlooking the River Tweed and the bordering Scottish counties of Berwickshire and Roxburghshire awaits the visitor.
Cornhill
Rumoured to sit on a ninth century religious site, St Helen's was originally built as a chapel of ease for Norham. The twelfth century building fell into disrepair in the 1700's, rebuilding and modifications took place during the 1840's and the chancel added during the 1860's. The bell-tower was added around 1910.
