Church Of St Cuthbert

The Church of St. Cuthbert is a parish church built between 1844 and 1845 by G. Pickering, with the chancel added from 1860 to 1862 by J.E. Watson, and the tower completed in 1869. It was re-roofed and restored in 1882. The church is constructed of snecked sandstone with a plinth and ashlar dressings, and its roof is made of Welsh slate with overlapping stone gable copings. The architectural styles are Early English and Decorated.

The church features a nave with a large north aisle, a chancel with a north porch, and a west tower. The chancel has paired lancet windows with cusping beneath a dentil table. The battlemented tower includes corner and side spirelets, as well as angle gargoyles. The south entrance is a pointed arch with nook shafts and a head-stopped drip mould. The upper stages of the tower contain a 2-light window, a clock set in a round stone surround within a 2-light opening, and a 2-light belfry opening with quatrefoil bands. The chancel has a 4-light east window with bar tracery, while the north porch features an east door in a chamfered pointed arch beneath a cusped triangular window, along with a 2-light window to the right. The roofs are steeply pitched.

Inside, the church has round piers supporting double-chamfered 4-bay nave arcades, with plastered walls up to a boarded dado. The arch-braced roof rests on flower-decorated corbels. Notable memorials include a priest's stall, Frosterley marble steps, and terrazzo in front of the chancel, as well as a chancel screen from 1899 dedicated to Reverend M. Green. There is a pulpit from 1902 commemorating the South African War and the Coronation of Edward VII, a Boer War brass tablet in the south aisle, a First World War memorial font, and a Second World War memorial tablet.
