Church

The Church or Chapel is a neat stone edifice, consisting of nave, chancel, and square tower, and contains 150 sittings, many of which are free. In 1291, Philip de St. Helena, rector of Lanchester, granted to this chapelry a general release of all tithes, obligations and altarage, within Satley and Butsfield. Satley afterwards bacame a mere chapel of ease to Lanchester parish, from which it was again severed on receiving an augmentation from Queen Anne's bounty in 1768. The parish register commences in 1797. The living is a perpetual curacy, not in charge, of the certified value of £11 4s., returned at £80; gross income £68. Patron, the Bishop of Durham; incumbent, the Rev. Joseph Thompson. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 915.]
