    A secluded 12th-century church, idyllically situated on a ridge with panoramic views over the Northumbrian moors. William Beveridge, the founder of the modern British welfare system, is buried here. His modest grave beside his wife reflects his desire to be connected to the land, far removed from political pomp and circumstance. The place exudes tranquility, history, and significance. Also note the medieval cross in the church garden.
