The Church, dedicated to St. Paul, was erected in 1814, from designs furnished by Mr. Corry, of Durham, upon a site given by Mrs. Bell. It consists of nave and chancel, with a western bell-turret, and the cost of erection amounted to about £700. It was considerably enlarged in 1854, at an expense of £200. The church possesses a very handsome stained-glass window, erected in 1853, by Mrs. Spencer of Helmington Hall. The living is in the patronage of the Bishop of Durham, and was originally endowed with £55 per annum, to which the ecclesiastical commissioners, in April 1851, granted an augmentation of £50. Rev. James Richards, M.A., incumbent. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 307.]
