Gibside Chapel
Gibside Chapel Is a lovely Georgian Chapel on the outskirts of Whickham Parish.
Gibside Estate (now owned by The National Trust) in the Derwent Valley is one of the finest 18th Century designed landscapes in the North of England. Within this lie the Palladian Chapel, the Long Walks, Column of Liberty, Orangery, Walled Garden and the ruins of Gibside Hall. At the highest point of the estate is the Banqueting House, managed by the Landmark Trust.
This beautiful Georgian Chapel within the parish boundaries of Whickham is still in regular use. The Rev. Duncan Reed Rector of The Parish of St. Mary The Virgin takes a monthly service in the chapel, including a Harvest Festival Service each October.
