Church

The church of St. Peter, situated a mile north of Allenheads, is a small edifice of stone in the Early English style, consisting of chancel and nave, west porch and a western belfry containing one bell: it is an ancient chapel, which had a conventional district assigned to it by the consent of the incumbent of Allendale in 1818; there is no document, however, defining the boundary: there are 110 sittings. The register dates from the year 1807. The living is a vicarage, yearly value £320, with house, in the gift of the rector of Allendale, and held since 1887 by the Rev. William Willliams LL.B. of Trinity College, Dublin. [Kelly's Directory of Durham and Northumberland (1890), page 700.]
