The church, built around the 12th century from local stone quarried from nearby, is dedicated to Saint Giles, and is noteworthy for the four large Roman columns built into its south aisle. These are believed to have been brought from the Roman fort of Chesters a couple of miles downstream. St Christopher's Church, Gunnerton, designed by John Cyril Hawes in 1899, is a chapel of ease in the parish; the building has been restored and now has a stained glass window by William Tillyer in the west wall. thumb|Interior of St Christopher's Church, Gunnerton Chollerton is also a registration sub-district in Northumberland; its population in 1851 was 5024 people.
