The church of St. Barnabas, built at the sole charge of George Frederick, 2nd Earl of Durham, in the year 1868, is an edifice in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave of three bays, aisles, south porch and western turret containing one bell: the chancel is beautifully decorated, and there are several stained windows. The west window is a memorial to Beatrice Frances, Countess of Durham, d. Jan. 21, 1871, and was erected by parishioners and others attending this church: in 1897 a new altar table was provided at a cost of £170. In 1882 the church was enlarged by the 3rd Earl of Durham by the addition of a Perpendicular north aisle, at a cost of £1,732, and further work was carried out in 1888, at a cost of £464, and now affords about 400 sittings.
