Bamburgh
St Aidan's stands on the coast in the shadow of Bamburgh Castle. The graveyard contains the family plot of the Darling family and a memorial to Grace Darling, (famous for her efforts to rescue the crew of a ship struck by a fierce storm). Grace was born in Bamburgh.
The church itself has parts which date to the 1190's, (north transept and north aisle) An intricate and stunning stone reredos (a screen behind the altar) depicts a total of thirteen saints of the seventh and eight centuries, the scale of the stone, the quality of the work and the detail it contains alone makes the church worth visiting.
