St. Mary the Virgin Church, Longframlington
Much of what can be seen today was built by Walter de Framlington in 1190 from locally quarried stone. As the lower parts of the north wall have been constructed of random stone rather than the coursed and different shade of stones from the rest of the church, it is thought that the 1190-built church might have incorporated part of an earlier church. The photograph, which was taken from the south west, shows a buttress and the bellcote with its twin pointed openings and pretty top with corner finials and a central pyramid-capped turretlet. The church was a chapel of ease to Felton until 1891, after which Longframlington became an independent parish.
