Parish Church of St Helen, Whitley Chapel
Whitley Chapel appears to have originated as a pre-Reformation chapel on a mediaeval site. The east window stonework is mediaeval and has been incorporated into subsequent buildings.
"There had been in old time a little chapel, by the wayside which leads from the head of the shire of Hexham, where a branch of it turns off to the east to the Steel and Duxfield mills, dedicated to St Helen, commonly called Whitley chapel, which had been entirely ruin’d and rebuilt by subscriptions sometime before the restauration to teach school; and the neighbourhood to meet on occasion."
