St Aidan's Church in Thorneyburn, Tarset is located in Falstone with Greystead and Thorneyburn parish. This is in the North Tyne and Redesdale Team churches under Bellingham Deanery in the Diocese of Newcastle of the Church of England. The rector is The Revd Dr Susan Ramsaran. The Church Wardens are Caroline Waitt and Gillian Liddle.
The church was built in 1818 by the Greenwich Hospital Commissioners to provide a living for ex Royal Navy Chaplains after the Napoleonic Wars.
The church held its bicentenary celebrations over the weekend of 3-5th August 2018:
And as usual the church is open all the time. Come and visit the church, see the New Roof, its links to the Navy and Greenwich Commissioners and all its history - who has been married, baptised and buried here, the war memorials, who played or pumped the organ and lots more. Order your copy of the new history of the Church, commissioned to celebrate the bicentenary.
Services are held at St Aidan's on the second (lay led parish worship at 6.00 pm) and fourth Sunday (communion at 11.00 am) of each month.
