The Church, which is dedicated to St. Cuthbert, is supposed to occupy the site of that founded by Eanred, and consists of nave, chancel, aisles, and tower, the latter of which is in the Anglo-Norman style. Several alterations and restorations were effected in 1845-6, by which means many additional sittings were obtained, and the edifice will now accomodate about 500 persons. The east window is of three lights, and is filled with rich stained glass. A new organ, situated at the west end of the nave, was erected in 1854, at a cost of £130. The parish register commences in 1570. The living is a vicarage, valued in the Liber Regis at £11 3s. 1½d.; gross income, £274. The rectorial tithes, amounting to £332, belong to the ecclesiastical commissioners. Patrons, the dean and chapter of Durham; Rev. Philip Rudd, vicar.
