St. Andrew’s Church in Corbridge is one of the oldest and most historic churches in Northumberland, with roots dating back to 674 AD, when St. Wilfrid founded a monastery here. Although the original timber-framed building has disappeared, the current church still incorporates Roman stonework from the nearby Corstopitum Fort, including an impressive tower arch dating from around 150 AD. Saxon and Norman elements include a Saxon window, a Norman zigzag doorway, and a 13th-century chancel. Vicar’s Pele Tower: a 14th-century fortified tower house built with Roman stone, once a refuge from Scottish raids. King’s Oven: a communal bread oven dating from 1310, still visible on the site. Memorial Gate: commemorates 108 local men who died in WWI.

St Andrew's Church stands on the north side of the Market Place in the centre of Corbridge. The main (but not the only) access to the churchyard is through the lych gate built in 1919 to serve as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the First World War, and from there a path leads towards the porch, surprisingly one of the most recent additions to the church, being built the year after the lych gate.
