Hexham Abbey

Hexham Abbey has many sights to take in, including some rare historical artefacts.

Listen as two mischievous church mice show you around the abbey! They'll take you on a wild ride but they might get into some trouble on the way...

Creep down the steep steps to descend into the oldest part of the abbey, the Anglo-Saxon crypt where there are rooms and passageways from the original church, built around 674! You can touch the cool stone of a Dark Age Cross, sit on a 7th century Bishop's throne called the Frith Stool and scamper up 35 worn stone steps, called the Medieval Night Stair.
