In 1641, King Charles I gave money to replace the dilapidated old church in Berwick.

In 1660, two years after the Restoration of the Monarchy, John Cosin, Bishop of Durham, consecrated the church.

However, this was not done until 1855 when the present chancel was built and many original Gothic windows were redesigned in the Classical style.

The 1855 west window is particularly fine and includes 16th- and 17th-century Flemish roundels formerly in the private chapel of the Duke of Buckingham at Canons Park, Middlesex.

Byfield and Green of London installed an organ in 1773, and Nicholson of Newcastle upon Tyne rebuilt it in 1855.

The group undertook a fund raising campaign for £160,000 for the cost of complete restoration, and its future maintenance was vested in the Berwick Parish Church Trust.

As the civic church of Berwick Upon Tweed many see this as a missed opportunity to fully restore the 3 manual organ.
