Spittal – St. John the Evangelist Church
A big thank you to the very nice Vicar, Ann Peters (I presume it was you), who kindly showed me where the names were inscribed and allowed me to take these photos.

Bamburgh War Memorial
The magnificent Bamburgh Castle, viewed from the churchyard of St. Aidan’s Church, Bamburgh. The war memorial nestles in a niche carved out beneath the castle walls.
