St Bartholomew’s Church, Newbiggin-by-the-sea is a Church of England building in the Diocese of Newcastle.[1]

History

The church dates from the 13th century[2] and by the eighteenth century had become a ruin. The nave and chancel were restored in 1845, and a new chancel arch and organ chamber were built in 1898 by W.S. Hicks. The north aisle was rebuilt in 1912.

The church is noted for its dramatic headland site.

Organ

The church had a two manual pipe organ by Nelson and Co dating from around 1910. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[3]

gollark: That doesn't seem like a problem? If they only get minimum wage, they... only get minimum wage? Capital gains tax is a thing.

gollark: Tax should clearly be done like this (precise numbers subject to change).

gollark: How did the discrete tax bracket thing even happen? What made people think "yes, this is clearly the best and most elegant way to do things"?

gollark: Even if you want progressive tax it could at least be a simple quadratic and not the accursed mess of horribleness.
