Find a church

Founded as a monastic community in 654AD, the cathedral became one of the most significant medieval abbeys in the country, the burial place of two queens and the scene of Civil War upheavals.

Ghosts of old landscapes can be detected here: to the north of Leverington is a track called 'Roman Bank'.

The parish church of St Mary Magdalene, Sandringham, is a country church of exceptional historic interest, with memorials to many members and relations of the Royal Family from Queen Victoria onwards.

This particularly fine church was built during the first half of the 14th century and there have been few alterations since then, it gives a very good impression of English gothic architecture just before the advent of The Black Death.

Before it became surrounded by a sea of modern housing and other developments, the impact of West Walton's huge detached tower in this flat landscape must have been genuinely awe inspiring.

Located in north Down just a few miles from Belfast the Victorian church building is open daily for prayer and meditation.
