The Church is a neat stone building, consisting of nave and chancel, with a small square tower; and, though possessing few pretensions to architectural elegance, yet it affords accomadation to 300 persons. It was erected in 1832, at a cost of £700, which was chiefly defrayed by Bishop Van Mildert, assisted by the Church Building Society, and a few private donations. The living, which has an endowment of 70 acres, and a money payment of £130 per annum, is in the patronage of the Bishop of Durham. Rev. George Watson, incumbent.
