Saint Matthew's Church, Newbottle

I visited St Matthews as I have just found out that my Grandmother was married there in 1919. Unfortunately the church was closed, they open two mornings for about 90 minutes. I would have loved to see inside with it being the hundredth year since their wedding, maybe in the spring. It is set in the absolute best position in the village with lovely views across the countryside.

Need new vicar
