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 was built in 1818 by the Greenwich Hospital Commissioners to provide a living for ex Royal Navy Chaplains after the Napoleonic Wars.
You are invited to join in our bicentenary celebrations at St Aidan's over the weekend of 3-5th August 2018. Attached are all the events and happenings and we would love to see you at some or all of these events.
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 (evensong at 6.00 pm) and fourth Sunday (communion at 11.00 am) of each month.
