Arthuret Church, CA6 5SJ
The church of St Michael and All Angels is situated on a hill in the ancient parish of Arthuret and overlooks the market town of Longtown with fine views of the surrounding countryside. The current church dates from 1609 and is designed in perpendicular style with battlemented parapets. It was built through national subscription on the order of James VI and I and, allegedly, due to a plea by Archie Armstrong, his court jester, who came from this area. The grave of Archie is in the churchyard. Arthuret has a large churchyard comprising an old section on the South side and a relatively new area on the North side. The times of our services and other activities can be found elsewhere on this website or on our "The Esk Parishes" Facebook page and all are welcome.

Monday Bible Study Group
We have two Bible study groups. One is held on Wednesdays and starts at 7.30 pm and the other is held on Mondays starting 1.15 pm. The Monday group meets in Langholm and the Wednesday one just before Gretna. We aim to keep the sessions to 1.5 hours but cannot guarantee how long the after session chat will last. Everyone and anyone is welcome, irrespective of denomination or faith. You can dip in and out or come along every week and don't even need to own a Bible.
If you want to know more then please contact Paul Smith on pjs1269@gmail.com or text him on his mobile 07447121747 (texting is safer than phoning because I usually fumble my phone and don't answer in time!)
