St Aidan's Church, Bamburgh, Medieval parish church in Bamburgh, England
St Aidan's Church stands with stone walls and features a chancel measuring 60 feet, making it the second longest in the country.
The original wooden church was established in 635 by Saint Aidan, who came from Iona at King Oswald's request to spread Christianity in Northumbria.
The crypt contains remains of 110 individuals from the 7th and 8th centuries, discovered in the Bowl Hole graveyard near Bamburgh Castle.
