Description
The Church of St Cuthbert is a parish church with medieval origins, possibly dating back to the 12th century for the chancel walls, while the nave was built later. It was remodeled in 1793, with an organ chamber and vestry added in the late 19th century. The church is constructed of squared stone, with parts from the 18th century that are horizontally tooled, and it features a 20th-century tile roof.
The building includes a nave and chancel, along with a north organ chamber and vestry, all designed in a Gothick style. The west end of the nave has a central projection that contains a pointed window with 20th-century latticed glazing and a sunk quatrefoil above it, topped by a square bellcote. There are pointed openings that are blind on the north and south sides, along with an impost band, cornice, and a truncated octagonal fleche. The south wall of the nave has a renewed door at the west end under a pointed arch, and two pointed windows with 20th-century latticed glazing. The north wall has two similar windows, where medieval masonry is visible in the lower part. The chancel's south and west walls also show medieval masonry, while the late 19th-century east window is a five-light design in the style of the 15th century. The gables are coped and feature kneelers.
Inside, there is a late 14th or 15th-century pointed chancel arch made of two chamfered orders on semi-octagonal responds with moulded capitals. A tall half-domed recess is located at the west end. The vestry and organ chamber have late 19th-century flat-pointed Tudor arches. The font features a moulded urn-like bowl on a fluted shaft, set on a square moulded plinth. There are three old hatchments displayed on the south wall of the chancel. The chancel walls are noticeably thicker than those of the nave, indicating a possible earlier construction date.
