- Shotley, Northumberland (St Andrew's Church)
Perched on Grey Mare Hill (293 metres high), St Andrew's was built in 1769 on the site of a much older church.
Inside, it is a simple and appealing cruciform church, with sturdy stone ribs over the crossing.
As well as some fine 18th-century headstones in the churchyard, there is also the fantastic domed structure of the Hopper Mausoleum, erected in 1752, with obelisks above and statues in carved niches on the sides.

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.
Difficult access up the hill to the church and there is a step up into church.
Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.

Beautiful church, full of peace and calm. Views around are stunning. Well worth the short treck across the field.
I used to visit this church often but never saw inside, the location is testimomy to gods work. The creation of the stunning scerery around is a prayer in itself. Wish it was still in use, would love to be married there!
Absolutely aewsome place.Visited it on a day when the rain poured down from the heavens! Made it more atmospheric...great!
