The Church, dedicated to All Saints, is supposed to occupy the site of that given by Robert de Brus to Guisborough priory; and consists of a nave and aisles, chancel, and lofty tower. In the north aisle, a porch, originally entered by an arch, was afterwards closed up, but is now thrown into the body of the church. Another porch, on the north side of the chancel, and which formerly served as a place of sepulture for the Fulthorps of Tunstall, was afterwards turned into a vestry, but is now re-opened. A beautiful pulpit of Caen stone has replaced the old one of wood, and an organ, which cost about £70, has been erected in a recess on the south side of the chancel; and on the north side of the same portion of the edifice, a neat vestry has been erected in harmony with the style of the church. There are a few mural monuments to the memory of different persons; but some of the more ancient ones have been removed. The church will accomodate about 500 persons. The parish register commences in 1580. The living is a vicarage, valued in the Liber Regis at £17 16s. 0½d.: gross income £325. The tithes were commuted in 1841; those of Stranton for £220, those of Brierton for £25, and those of Seaton Carew for £100. Patron, Sir Matthew White Ridley, Bart.; vicar, Rev. Henry Richard Ridley.
The Vicarage is situated at the south-west of the village. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), pages 331-32.]
