The Church, erected principally by Bishop Van Mildert, assisted by the Society for the Enlargement, Building, and Repairing of Churches, was opened in 1834. It is a neat building, consisting of nave and chancel, with a square tower. The windows and porch are faced with polished stone, and the interior is lighted with gas. A gallery is situated over the entrance, and a small organ near the pulpit. The living is in the patronage of the Bishop of Durham, and the incumbency of the Rev. James Manisty. There is a parsonage house and grounds, and the endowment is stated to be £225 per annum. The burial ground was considerably enlarged in 1853, at an expense of nearly £170.
