The parish church of St. Cuthbert, which was rebuilt in 1807, is to be replaced in 1873 by a handsome structure; it will be in the Geometrical Pointed style, and consist of nave, aisles, and chancel, and north and south chancel aisles, and will contain a beautiful font, to be presented by Mrs. George Arnison in memory of an infant son; the designs for the erection of the edifice are by Messrs. Austin and Johnson, of Newcastle; the contractors for the masonry, Peter Laing and Sons; and for the woodwork, the Messrs. Fairlamb, of Allendale: the cost of the building is to be about £1,500, collected by the present rector. The register dates from the year 1662. The living is a rectory, yearly value £300, in the gift of the lord of the manor, and held by the Rev. Titus Emerson, of University College, Durham.
