The Church of St John of Beverley, also known as St John Lee, stands on rising ground in the countryside between Hexham and Acomb, just north of the A69. From the lane, the stone building and its churchyard feel almost tucked away in a hollow, but its position on a promontory above the valley means the site has been a landmark for centuries. Today, the church is recognised as a Grade II listed building for its special architectural and historic interest. Hidden fragments and living parishInside and around the building, the church retains traces of its long history. Today, St John of Beverley remains an active parish church, with regular services and events drawing worshippers from Acomb and the surrounding countryside, even as traffic along the nearby A69 hums in the background.
