The porch, St Andrew's, Bywell
The porch, St Andrew's, Bywell
The tiny village of Bywell is unusual in possessing two ancient churches standing almost side by side. St Andrew's was known colloquially as the "White Church" as the Premostratensians ("White Canons") had the rights to appoint the vicar. This was in contrast to St Peter's Church nearby known as the "Black Church" as the advowson rights there were granted to the black-robed Benedictine Monks. St Andrew's is now redundant and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.
