The Church, dedicated to All Saints, occupies an elevated situation west of the village: and is a small neat edifice, without tower or side aisles, capable of accomodating about 100 persons. The east window is of three lights, the font is an octagonal basin of freestone; and the cummunion table is plain and unadorned. The chancel contains the burial places of the Scurfields of Elstob, and the Nicholsons. The parish register commences in 1561. The living is a rectory, valued in the Liber Regis at £12 13s. 4d.; gross income, £310. The glebe contains upwards of 47 acres; the tithes are commuted for £270, £200 for Great Stainton township, and £70 for Elstob. The partonage is vested in the crown. Rector, Rev. Thomas Lowis Trotter, M.A.
The Parsonage House is a handsome structure, with a garden and shrubbery, and commands beautiful and extensive views of the surrounding country. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 330.]
