The Church of St. James was rebuilt in 1872, on the site of a former one, which was built in 1841. The present church consists of nave with apsidal chancek, north aisle, and porch ; at the east end is a belfry ; the five lancel lights in the chancel are filled with stained glass. The church is in the Early English style, and affords seating for 530. The site and churchyard were given by the late William Lloyd Wharton, Esq., and consists of about three acres. The living is a vicarage in the patronage of the Bishop of Durham, and is valued at £460, derived from glebe, tithes, and endowment. Rev. Thomas Farquhar Hill is the incumbent. The vicarage, which is situated on a site adjoining the church, is a good residence, sheltered by trees, and having about three acres of land attached.
