Whitley Chapel is a village in southern Northumberland, about four miles south of Hexham, and in the parish of Whitley.

Whitley Chapel Village Hall has a plaque commemorating those fallen soldiers from Hexhamshire killed in battle during the two world wars. Local historian and publisher Hilary Kristensen was behind the idea and the plaque is the fruit of nearly three years’ work. The plaque was unveiled in 2009.[1]

Parish church

The parish church is dedicated to St Helen (the Empress Helena, mother of Constantine the Great).[2]
