Church

The church of St Lawrence is a fine building, principally in the Norman style, but some of the later portions are in the Early English style: it contains some beautiful Norman arches: it has a chancel, nave, aisles, and low western tower containing 3 bells: it is in excellent repair, having about 1855 undergone alteration. The register dates from the year 1571. The living is a discharged vicarage, yearly value £620, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Durham, and held by the Rev. Henry Stoker, M.A., of University College, Durham. [Kelly's Directory of Northumberland and Durham (1873), pages 138-9.]
