The Church, dedicated to St. Bartholomew, is a neat unpretending edifice, consisting of a nave only, with bell-turret at the west end, and will accomodate about 300 persons. The seats are all open and free; and the male portion of the congregation usually sit on the north side, and the females on the south side. The cost of erection was about £350. The chapelry is without endowment; but an annual grant of £100 is given by the Weardale Iron Company, and the surplice fees amount to £10 a year. The living is a perpetual curacy, dependent on the parish of Wolsingham. Rev. Joshua Elliott, incumbent. [Whellan's History, Topography and Directory of Durham (and Newcastle) (1856), page 332.]
