Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking west across the Common Grazing land at Morpeth. The building at the end is the golf clubhouse - the golf course being to the right. The Wansbeck "Wannie" railway used to run alongside the common, and is still visible on the 1940s maps and has since been turned into a bridleway.

Dist:0.7km<br/>The lych gate dates from 1861. Many churches have a lych gate built over the main entrance to the enclosed area round the church. The name, also spelt lich or lytch, is from the Anglo Saxon 'lich' meaning corpse. The gate marks the division between consecrated and unconsecrated ground, where the bearers sheltered with the coffin, waiting for the clergyman to lead the procession before the burial. The original lych gates had seats, a lych cross and a lych stone - a slab on which the coffin rested.
