Church Of St. Cuthbert

The Church of St. Cuthbert is a church dating from the 16th century, with some remains from the early 13th century. It was restored in 1863-1864 and again in 1909, during which the eastern bay was rebuilt. The building is constructed of pebbledashed rubble with sandstone dressings and has a slate roof. It features a nave and chancel under one roof, north and south aisles, a porch on the north side at the east end of the nave, and a west tower. The vestry is located at the angle between the tower and the north aisle.

The 16th-century windows are mullioned, with double chamfers and round heads. The north aisle windows consist of three lights, while the vestry has a two-light window. The south aisle wall has four bays with two-light chamfered windows that have flush chamfered mullions and round heads. The porch, dating from the 19th century, has a four-centred arched head for the inner door. The tower features diagonal buttresses and a battlemented parapet. The west wall includes a blocked doorway with a double hollow chamfer, a two-centred head, and a hood mould, above which is a three-light 16th-century window with a hood mould. The bell openings are also from the 16th century and consist of three lights. The east window has three cusped lights with perpendicular tracery above.

Inside, the nave has a four-bay arcade with two chamfered orders and octagonal piers. The western arch and pier of the south aisle, along with the respond, and the western respond of the north aisle, are likely from the early 13th century, featuring an unmoulded arch and a round-section pier. The timber roof is open, with visible purlins and common rafters in both the nave and aisles. All trusses have collars and tie beams, except for the first two trusses from the west, which only have collars. The seventh and eighth trusses at the east end have curved principals. The church retains box pews in the nave and north aisle, with similar pitch pine pews in the south aisle. At the west end of the south aisle are the painted arms of George III, and at the east end of the north aisle is a cylindrical gritstone font.
