Prayer heard on Holy Island for the first time in 1,000 years

A community archaeology project on Holy Island, off Northumberland, has uncovered the complete outline and foundations of a church which could date back as far as the 7th century.
 

It would have been part of the monastery and is a key, rediscovered link in the long Christian history of Holy Island.

On Tuesday, the Rev Paul Collins, Vicar of Holy Island and St Mary's parish church, led a service within the boundaries of the newly-excavated church which has been lost for so many centuries.
