Thank you, Stan, for helping me again with information about Birdhope Craig.  I must have passed the place many times in my youth (long ago), but never realized there was a chapel there.  Also, I found the article about its history very interesting.

Regards,

Hazel.

Hi Blues!

Thanks for alerting me to the Sykes Cottage conversion of Birdhope Craig chapel.  In fact, I'm always getting emails from Sykes Cottages, but had never noticed the new property!

Cheers, Hazel.

Hi hazel , wasn't really expecting a reply as this is an old post. Sorry should have been more clear. The church came up for sale about three years ago and my wife and I bought it. It took a year and a half to get the planning permission and have been doing the work for about the last fourteen months.
I have always been online to try and find any Old friends of the chapel and have came across this post many times .Just thought now that we are nearly done there may be people may want to visit if passing. Bearing in mind we rent it out so a heads up would be good but all are welcome who have an interest or related past. Barry

Hi Steve!
I'm glad you liked my post about Birdhope Craig.  Perhaps you could use the new holiday cottage as a base for exploring that part of Northumberland looking for the places where your ancestors lived.  It's not far from Kirkwhelpington.
Good Luck!
