⛪ St Mary’s Church in Ponteland, officially St Mary the Virgin, is a historic parish church in Northumberland with roots dating back to before the Norman Conquest. The oldest parts, such as the sturdy west tower, date from the 12th century and were even used as a refuge in times of trouble—the tower walls are a whopping 1.2 metres thick.
In the 13th and 14th centuries, the church was extended with a spacious chancel, a south aisle and stained glass windows, some of which still show medieval fragments. During the Victorian period, the building underwent extensive restoration, including new floors, pews and a raised chancel.

A lovely church in the centre of Ponteland village, with interesting wall hangings about the history of Northumberland. Also a peaceful place for contemplation, with soft music playing and a calm atmosphere.
