Informations supplémentaires

View SW of the stone roof of the nave of St Cuthbert's Church, Bellingham, Northumberland, England, UK. The C12th church was almost entirely rebuilt in 1609 after being almost destroyed in border raids during the C16th. The C17th roof is made of alternating strips of single & double stone slabs to guard against artillery & fire. Semi-circular stone ribs (arches) form a barrel vault inside. The N door (L) & large offset buttress (R) - one of a pair flanking the W gable end - are also C17th. The two smaller buttresses & lancet windows on the side wall of the nave are part of the C19th (1865) renovations as is the gabled W bellcote. The C19th repairs revealed cannon balls embedded in the roof. Tradition states that St Cuthbert founded a wooden church here in the C7th. He is also credited with dowsing & consecrating the spring of clear pure water (untainted by marsh water) just below the church to the SE.
