Call Directions

Friends of the Church of our Lady Friends are Fundraisers, Volunteers, Guides, Greeters and Helpers. New members and new hands on deck are always welcome! Please just ask how you can help us!

Remembering History: Ensuring the Future The Friends of the Church of Our Lady are a registered charity who fund-raise to preserve this beautiful Saxon church, consecrated in 1102. We would like to invite you to join us as a Friend at £6 per person per year. You will receive 3 Newsletters a year which explain our progress and always include historical info about Our Lady. We open for visitors most weekends (except in the coldest winter weather!) when Guides and Greeters give an insight into the incredible history of Our Lady. Of course, it is also possible to light a candle and sit quietly to reflect. Our motto encompasses all of this: Friends of the Church of Our Lady - remembering the past, preserving the future.

A very special thing happened yesterday, 7th July 2026, at the Church of Our Lady. While project work was going on the c.1490 bell has been removed for safekeeping and restoration. Yesterday it came back! The vicar gave it a blessing and it's now safely back in place. It isn't often you see a vicar up scaffolding and even rarer to witness a bell being hoisted up to its bellcote and blessed.

Here are a couple of up to date pics of the Friends' cabinet in Circa in Amble. There's lots of lovely stuff there. A nice trip out - something nice to eat, easy parking, dog friendly and something nice to buy as a keepsake. What could be better? If you aren't sure where it is, please feel free to message.

Thanks to everyone who came, sifted, rummaged, considered and (hopefully) bought something from our bric-a-brac sale. We enjoyed meeting you and hope you left with something nice. See you again at Seaton Sluice Harbour Day at the end of July.

Day 3 of our bric-a-brac sale at Seaton Sluice Community Centre and there are still lots of interesting treasures to find. Nowhere else will you find snooker balls next to a top hat next to a tea-set next to a CD stand next to cushions next to a crystal clock next to bracelets... You get the idea, there's lots to find!
