The Church is a very plain building of stone, on the south, and a little way from the turnpike road. It was first built as a chapel-of-ease in 1823. In 1883 extensive alterations were affected at a cost of £600, and in 1888 it was lined throughout with fire brick, the expense of both being defrayed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. The church will seat 400. The burial-ground is not used, as a cemetery has been opened in the parish. The living is in the gift of the Bishop of Durham, valued at £430, and held by the Rev. Geo. Monkhouse. The vicarage adjoins the churchyard on the south.
