St Andrew's Bolam Northumberland

St Andrew's dates back to Saxon times. The tower is of a late Saxon period but the interior is largely Norman with the arcading dated to 1180-1200. The quatrefoil piers with their broad moulded capitals are unique to St Andrew's.
The south door and the eastern section of the chancel are 13th century, the gothic windows in the south aisle date from the 18th century. During the Second World War a German bomb was dropped and lodged under the Dent chapel fortunately it did not explode. Evetts created the leaded window which recalls the event. The bomber pilot returned some 60 years later to apologise, an event which made the national newspapers. There is also a small window above an effigy. The church is generally open.
