Hexham Abbey. There has been a church on this site for over 1,350 years since Queen Etheldreda around year 674. Only the crypt underneath remains of the original church. What we see today is mainly 12th and 13th centuries. But the east end had to be rebuilt in 1860 after it was attacked by the Scots and then left.

Night Stairs, 35 stone steps used since the 13th century by the men who lived and worked here called Canons to walk from their dormitory for their night services in the choir stalls.
