The Church is a neat stone building in the Early English style, opened in July 1845. It consists of nave, chancel, and north porch, and will accommodate about 300. The cost was mainly defrayed by Bishop Maltby, who also endowed it out of the bishop's episcopal revenues. The internal decorations are neat, and the pulpit and lectern are of carved oak. The living is a rectory, in the patronage of the Bishop of Durham, valued at £360, and held by the Rev. Robert Eli Hooppell, LL.D. The vicarage, which was built in 1851, is a pleasantly situated residence, with grounds, adjoining the church.
