Parish church. Romanesque tower, remainder of church early C13. Extensive restoration in 1853 by P.C. Hardwick. Sandstone and limestone rubble masonry.
Steeply-pitched green slate roof. Square west tower, aisled nave, chancel and north chapel.

"The Church, dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin, is of ancient date, and, previous to its restoration, in 1853, was one of the most interesting edifices in the country, the few remaining portions of which are of the Norman period. The church is said to have been rebuilt in the early part of the thirteenth century; the existing tower, of Norman date, probably belonged to the original structure. The most notable features of the interior are the nave arcades and chancel arch. The church is extremely well proportioned, the original plan remaining unaltered."
[From History, Topography and Directory of Durham, Whellan, London, 1894]
