The Church is a handsome structure, in the Gothic style, erected in 1842 at a cost of £1,466 9s. 7d., of which sum her majesty's commissioners gave £300, the Incorporated Society for the Building, &c., of Churches, £200, the Bishop of Durham £100, Mrs. Bewick, £100, Henry King Scott £100, the owners of Pelton Colliery £200, the owners of Urpeth Colliery £100, the remainder being derived from subscriptions. It comprises nave, aisles, chancel, and lofty spire, and contains 450 sittings, 267 of which are free and unappropriated. There are several stained glass windows in the church, which add much to the general impression of the structure. The living is in the gift of the curate of Chester-le-Street, and incumbency of the Rev. Henry Barrett, M.A. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 880.]
