Hexham Abbey, Grade I listed church in Hexham, England
The Abbey features Romano-Gothic architecture with intricate stone carvings, expansive arches, and barrel-vaulted ceilings throughout its grand interior structure.
Founded by Saint Wilfrid in 674, the Abbey underwent substantial reconstruction between 1170 and 1250, incorporating materials from nearby Roman structures.
The church maintains active choral groups, including the Hexham Abbey Boys' Choir and Girls' Choir, which perform concerts and participate in international tours.
Visitors can explore the Abbey daily from 10 AM to 4 PM, with access to the Refectory Café, gift shop, and exhibition center.
The seventh-century crypt contains four chambers displaying Roman artifacts, including the tombstone of Flavinus, a first-century standard-bearer.
