St Michael's is one of the architectural gems of Northumberland. It is a story that spans the entire history of Alnwick and the Dukes of Northumberland. Fascinating features include the ancient 'Hotspur' carved capital, medieval tombs and painted roof bosses, a remarkable collection of stained glass windows, and a 21st century font carved by a local sculptor.
