Church Of Our Lady And St Cuthbert

The Church of Our Lady and St Cuthbert is a Roman Catholic church built in 1891 by the architectural firm Dunn, Hanson and Dunn. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Lakeland slate roof. The church includes a nave, chancel, north transept, south vestries, a south porch, and a south-west turret. The five-bay nave is adorned with 2-light windows that showcase a mix of Perpendicular and Flamboyant tracery. The porch also has similar tracery on its glazed sides, and the large 4-light east window of the nave features the same style. The west end, which is ritual east, has a polygonal apse with shafted 2-light windows displaying Geometric tracery. Below the west window, there are carved tabernacles featuring figures of Christ and the Virgin and Child. The church also boasts fine carvings on the capitals of the window shafts and in three niches with shields and foliage in the west wall of the transept, along with numerous ornamental gargoyles.

The gabled nave roof has steeply ridged coping and ridge tiles shaped like intersecting round arches. An octagonal bell turret with cusped openings, gargoyles, and a spirelet adds to the church's distinctive profile. Inside, the chancel roof is finely painted. Originally built at Prudhoe Hall, the church was reconstructed at its current site in 1904.
