Our Lady and St. Cuthbert RC Church History
The present Church was built to accommodate about three hundred people and opened on the 25th June 1829. The parish priest was Father Birdsall.
In 1851 the Mass attendance numbered about 200; which figure, if Berwick can be compared with other non-rural congregations such as Alnwick, would give a total congregation of around 600. From the registers it would appear that just over half of them were Irish immigrants or their children. For the remainder of the century the size of the congregation fluctuated, but overall there was a steady, though small, increase. In 1929 the total congregation was put at around 900.
Among the parishioners, the Liddell-Grainger family of Ayton Castle and Sir Hubert and Lady Annie Jerningham, of Longridge Towers were prominent benefactors of the Church. The Liddel-Grainger family made a gift to the church of the Stations of the Cross, dated 1910, in memory of Henry Liddell-Grainger. In 1914 Sir Hubert Jerningham died. Both he and Lady Jerningham are buried in the church grounds, where there are memorials to them.
In 1852, the picture on the ceiling of the Agony in the Garden was presented to the church by a parishioner, James Grieve, of Ord House. The inscription states that the picture was given to James Grieve by King Charles the Tenth of France and Navarre. There is an unsubstantiated story that the King gave the painting to James Grieve in settlement of gambling debts.
1925 saw the opening of a new side-chapel dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The chapel was given by the Liddell-Grainger family in memory of Alice Paton (nee Liddell –Grainger).
In 1979 the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the church was celebrated. Mass was said by the Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle, and among those present were clergymen from other denominations, Mr Alan Beith, Berwick’s M.P and representatives of Berwick Borough Council.
