Church of Saint Paul. Branxton, Northumberland, England, United Kingdom, Europe.

---

The Church of St Paul was originally constructed during the mediaeval period and could possibly stand on the site of an older timber construction. The earliest surviving part of the church is the Chancel Arch which dates from the 12th century. The church that one sees today was extensively rebuilt in 1849. Tradition says that after the Battle of Flodden it was used as a temporary mortuary and a burial place for a number of the casualties.
