The Church of Saint Vincent, in Ashington, is from the 13th century.

The Norman Church of St James.
It has a 15th-century tower and parts of the church date from even earlier.
It was restored in 1864–65 by Sir Arthur Blomfield.
It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II* listed building.
Theophilus Brome, who died in 1670, had his body buried in the church, however his skull was separated from the body on his instructions and is kept in a cupboard at Higher Chilton Farm.
According to writer Daniel Codd, who observed the skull in February 2010: "Upon being shown Theophilus' skull, I was curious to see his lower jaw was missing and that he appears at some stage to have been varnished."
Codd goes on to say, "The reason for Theophilus Brome's desire that his head be hidden was very natural, given the era in which he died, and his tomb in the church is concealed beneath the church wall nearest the farm — meaning that his head and body were buried apart, but as near to each other as was possible under the circumstances."
Several attempts to inter the skull have resulted in terrible and unexplained noises being heard throughout the farmhouse.
