Berwick Parish Church of Holy Trinity and St Mary
Heritage Open Day: Come and see this church which is a building of exceptional historic importance, a very rare example of an Anglican church built in the Commonwealth period in the time of Cromwell. It's also the most northerly Anglican Church in England. 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.
