Cuthbert in Carham

Just above the bank of the river Tweed, this peaceful country church may or may not have anything to do with St Cuthbert. Perhaps it’s the site of a cell begun by  the monks in Lindisfarne, perhaps by St Cuthbert himself; perhaps this was a stopping place for his body, after the flight from Holy Island; perhaps the sainted King Ceolwulf was buried here.  What is known certainly, the church was built in the 18th century, with additions in the 19th, in a serene setting.
