St. Mungo's Church, Simonburn
According to the "Visitor Notes" booklet available in the church, there has been a church on this site since the 6th or 7th C. The current building dates from the 13th C. It was rebuilt in 1762 and the chancel was restored in 1863. Until 1811, there was only one parish around Simonburn, where now there are seven; this explains why the small village of Simonburn has such a large church. The church has a very long chancel, some two-thirds of the length of the nave.
