In 1791, when Alnmouth was a thriving seaport, the Hindmarsh Hall was known to exist as a Granary which
was one of a number in Alnmouth. It was used later as a Corn Exchange. The River Aln changed course in 1806,
separating the old church from the village. For over 50 years the population had to travel to either Lesbury
or Warkworth to worship. In 1859, the Hall was converted into a church, which function it fulfilled until
1876 when the new Church of St John the Baptist was built.
In 1937 the Hindmarsh family purchased the building from the Duke of
Northumberland and, after refurbishment, gave it to the people of Alnmouth for use as a village hall. |

A wonderful historical building in the heart of the ancient village of Alnmouth which is now a ‘state of

In recent years the

the villagers and other supporters. |
