The church of St Bartholomew is a modern building of stone, chiefly in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave, south aisle and a tower at the west end of the aisle, with shingled spire, and containing 2 bells: the base of the tower forms a porch: the stained east window, erected by John and Sarah Ann Rogerson, is a memorial to Charles Barrass and Sarah Edith, their children, who died at Croxdale Hall, May, 1877: on the north aisle is a memorial window to Elizabeth, wife of the Rev. E. Greatorex, present rector, who died in 1888, and in the vestry a small one to the Rev. Henry Chaytor, 33 years rector here, dated 1869: there are 412 sittings, all free. The register dates from the year 1696. The living is a rectory, yearly value £300, with residence, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Durham, and held by the Rev.
