St Aidan's Parish Church, Bamburgh

More Information

Friends of St Aidan

A group of people for whom St Aidan's Church and churchyard hold a special place in their hearts. Some will live nearby; others visit once in a lifetime; for others it is a venue for holidays and renewal year by year. For some it may be a place of memories of marriages, baptisms or of loved ones buried in the churchyard. But for all it is a special place with which they would wish to be associated. Our aim is to help maintain the Church and its churchyard for future generations whilst keeping memories alive.

Benefice - Bamburgh, Belford and Lucker

We are a Benefice of three churches : St Aidan’s Bamburgh, St Mary’s Belford and St Hilda’s Lucker. All three churches have very different characters.  

We share one vicar, Revd Louise Taylor-Kenyon, and two additional priests, Revd Phyl Carruthers and Revd Paul Knox.

We offer weekly Communion in all our churches as well as a number of other acts of worship weekly and monthly as well as other opportunities to gather together.
