About St Mary the Virgin Church

St Mary the Virgin is Ponteland's historic parish church — essentially a 12th-century building, with a Norman tower doorway and fine 13th-century stone carving — standing at the old heart of the village. It remains an active place of worship at the centre of community life.\n\nIts parish centre on Thornhill Road hosts a wide range of community groups and events through the week, from the local history society to social groups, making the church a hub well beyond Sunday services.
