Arthuret Church, CA6 5SJ
The church of St Michael and All Angels is situated on a hill in the ancient parish of Arthuret and overlooks the market town of Longtown with fine views of the surrounding countryside. The current church dates from 1609 and is designed in perpendicular style with battlemented parapets. It was built through national subscription on the order of James VI and I and, allegedly, due to a plea by Archie Armstrong, his court jester, who came from this area. The grave of Archie is in the churchyard. Arthuret has a large churchyard comprising an old section on the South side and a relatively new area on the North side. The times of our services and other activities can be found elsewhere on this website or on our "The Esk Parishes" Facebook page and all are welcome.

Wednesday April 9th: A Lantern to my feet and a Light upon my path'Bishop Peter writes: 'The Bible is not only one of the most familiar of books but also one of the most enigmatic. It is the world's best seller and has shaped history. It was written over thousands of years by many different authors, and yet speaks to us personally today. All we know of Jesus comes from the Bible.
Come and explore the world of the Bible this Lent!'Peter Ramsden (BSc., MA) has been a priest in Newcastle Diocese and subsequently, for ten years, priest in Aipo Diocese in the Western Highlands of Papua New Guinea. From 2007 until 2014 he was Bishop of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
