St Maurice, Ellingham, is an Ancient Parish in the county of Northumberland and includes: Chathill, Doxford, North Charlton, Preston, Preston near Alnwick, and South Charlton.

The church is a Grade II listed building, one of at least 4/5 churches which have existed on this site since 1150 (possibly earlier), the existing structure incorporates parts of an earlier Norman church.

Unusual in that it is one of only a few churches in England to be named after the Roman officer who, along with his companions. was martyred in the 3rd Century in Switzerland for refusing pagan sacrifices and refusing to attack the innocent.

Part of the churchyard is dedicated as a "Breathing Space" project and is managed and studied by the local children.
