Description
The Church of St. Cuthbert is a parish church dating from the 12th century, with a bellcote and south door added in 1735. The nave windows were altered in the mid-19th century. It features a 17th-century priest's door and a 19th-century south porch. The building is constructed of dressed stone with a slate roof, while the chancel has asbestos tiles. The church consists of a 6-bay nave, which has windows only on the south side, designed in a domestic 19th-century style with chamfered reveals. The south door has a chamfered surround and an elliptical head with a date inscribed on the triple keystone. The 2-bay chancel includes a priest's door with a Tudor-arched head in a chamfered surround, similar to the house next door, and one 18th-century 12-pane sash window. The east window features 19th-century intersecting tracery, and there is a gabled west bellcote topped with a ball finial.
Inside, the church has an unmoulded 12th-century chancel arch resting on plain chamfered imposts, with some 17th-century chancel roof timbers visible. There is an octagonal 18th-century font and four medieval grave slabs attached to the nave wall. The altar rail from the 18th century has turned balusters. On the outside of the nave's south wall, there are three 18th-century monuments dedicated to members of the Reed family. The interior underwent a thorough late 20th-century restoration.
