Church of St Cuthbert

The Church of St Cuthbert is a parish church built in the late 15th century, with extensions added in the 17th century and restoration completed in 1884. It is constructed from squared stone and rubble, topped with a slate roof. The church consists of a single cell with six bays on the exterior; the western three bays are believed to be a 17th-century addition. The north vestry, built in 1884, occupies the site of a medieval sacristy or chapel.

The south wall features a chamfered plinth, diagonal buttresses, and thin stepped buttresses between the bays. The windows are composed of three trefoil-headed lights beneath elliptical arches, each with a hollow-chamfered hoodmould. In the second and fifth bays, the window sills are set higher, with doorways located beneath them. The western door, largely from the 19th century, has an elliptical arch set in a square frame, while a blocked eastern door features a four-centred head in a square frame, inscribed with '16 91' and spandrels marked 'W IA BAL'. The west end is built of rubble and includes a similar three-light window, along with a squared stone corbelled-out bellcote that has elliptical-arched openings. The east end is made of squared stone, with diagonal buttresses and a window containing five cinquefoil-headed lights with panel tracery under an elliptical arch and hoodmould. The gable from the 19th century is topped with a cross finial. The north wall is made of rubble and has one central stepped buttress with a three-light window to the left. The vestry features a possibly 16th-century window, re-set in the east wall, which has a triangular head and a raised ball at the apex of its chamfered surround, along with old iron bars and diamond glazing. Other openings date from the 19th century.

Inside, large corbels flank the east window, with the left corbel featuring a sunk star ornament and the right one displaying a chevron pattern, which may be either re-used 12th-century work or later vernacular craftsmanship. There are relief carvings on the inner splays of the three eastern windows on the south side, depicting a rabbit, flowers, a fleur de lys, and a grotesque mask, among other designs. On the north side of the sanctuary, there is an old rectangular squint with iron bars. The font is a simple circular basin and shaft, possibly from the late medieval period. A 12th-century cross slab is set in a recess of a blocked doorway on the south side. The roof timbers and furnishings were all installed in 1884, and the east window glass was created by Kempe in 1891.
