A historic church is reopening its doors for a Christmas service.

St Andrews, at Bywell, has hosted events over the summer organised by the Friends of Bywell St Andrews, but it hasn't held a Christmas service for many years.

The church, under the guardianship of the Churches Conservation Trust, will host the Carol Service of Six Carols and Lessons held by the Friends of Bywell St Andrews and the Rev Diana Johnson of Riding Mill.

All are welcome to the event, which is scheduled for December 19, starting at 6pm.

The church was once the parish church of the parish of Riding Mill.

Mince pies and mulled wine will be served during the occasion and guests are advised to dress warmly and wear sensible shoes.

The Friends of Bywell St Andrews has already held several events during the summer, including a choir concert, talks on church architecture and local history and a walking tour of Bywell.
