Eight of us met together at Hauxley in May. The weather was kind and we enjoyed sunshine for our wandering around the Reserve including dropping into some of the hides. We heard that there was a vixen and 2 cubs on one of the islands, but they opted not to show themselves. However we did […]
After both services at St James’s on Sunday 7th May we shared pieces of a wonderful cake made by Marillyn and decorated by Julie – a lovely nod to the Coronation the day before.
On Saturday 15th April 2023 – We held a Toilet Twinning Coffee Morning in the church hall. Despite a small turn out we raised the healthy sum of just over £420 – meeting our Minister, Joan’s challenge.

This is an area that has probably seen more than 2000 years of comings and goings by sea and land. The rocky whinsill outcrop was once the site of an iron age fort, and no doubt used long before that by local tribes. It then became the capital of Northumbria with King Oswald, who brought […]

The church looked beautiful for Easter Sunday – thanks to the two M’s for all their hard work.
Christian’s Together in Alnwick (CTIA) Lent Lunches started two weeks ago with the first hosted by St James’s. We had a good turn out with all the churches represented. The soup made by 4 of our members was delicious and much appreciated by all who attended. Joan, our Minister, gave a thoughtful Lent Reflection. The […]
Another perfect day for our Warkworth walk. We met by the River Coquet and walked downstream to the bridges. I always remember George Hood here, as it was his brother who was involved in the design and construction of the ‘new’ bridge. We crossed the road and walked up the little pathway between the houses […]
