Berwick Parish Church : A History through Six Objects - talk and tour

Heritage Open Day: Specially devised for Heritage Open Days, come along and find out about the history of this unusual Cromwellian church through six objects found inside 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. Although there are other surviving Cromwellian churches, this is the only one still used as an Anglican Parish Church today.
