Odds and Ends
Chollerton St Giles is not far from Hadrian`s Wall.
If you are considering holidaying in the area and walking the Wall, then do allow time for a diversion from Chollerford Bridge along the road to St Giles` where you will find Roman pillars supporting the roof in the nave, a Roman font next to the more recent one, and peace and quiet for weary travellers.

Hadrian Awards 2007
Gunnerton Church has been given a prestigious Hadrian Award. Hadrian Awards celebrate and promote the best in architecture and design of the built environment in the North East and Cumbria.
To be selected for an award, schemes must meet a number of criteria, including being fit for purpose, and be an innovative trail-blazer. Both these aspects of the Award and more have been met.
The award is a tribute to Vincente Stienlet of Gosforth, our architect, who was sympathetic to the heritage of the church, the needs of the congregation and the community.
