Church Of St Cuthbert

The Church of St Cuthbert is a Grade II* listed building located in Burton Fleming. It features a 12th-century arcade and chancel, with an early 13th-century west tower. The nave, south porch, and chancel were extensively remodeled in the 17th and 18th centuries. The church is constructed from ashlar, brick, and cobbles, and has plain tiled roofs.

The west tower is four bays, and the chancel is two bays. The south aisle of the nave was demolished, and the arcade was blocked in the 18th century. The south doorway includes reset 12th-century jambs with two orders of attached columns featuring water-leaf capitals. The left abacus was recut in the late 14th century. There are three windows with pointed brick heads; two are east of the south door with late 20th-century glazing, and one to the west has late 18th-century Gothick iron glazing bars. A small lancet window at a higher level to the east is in a plain brick surround with a stone keyblock. The church also features a bronze sundial, a coped brick parapet, and plain close verges.

The chancel has a chamfered plinth and a two-light mullioned square-headed window, with a rendered brick parapet and stone coping on the south side. The east window is a three-light design with Perpendicular tracery and a raised coped gable. The west tower consists of four stages, with a hollow-chamfered plinth on the west face that returns slightly to the north and south. It has massive buttresses at the north-east and south-east angles, the latter being cut back. The tower features a two-light west window with Decorated tracery, two string courses, and an offset at the belfry floor level. The belfry has lancets enriched with balls, chevrons, and cusping, and a coped parapet that conceals a low pitch roof.

Inside, there is an early 13th-century double-chamfered tower arch under a hood mould with roundel stops. The south arcade and east respond are partly obscured, featuring round piers and capitals with scallops and interlace under octagonal abaci that support round-headed arches of two orders; the inner arch has nailhead ornament, while the outer has a narrow chamfer. The pointed chancel arch, which has been rebuilt, retains 12th-century jambs of two chamfered orders and a nook shaft with a scallop capital. A 12th-century tub font on a circular pillar and base features four carved heads. The Royal Arms of 1724 are displayed over the south door.
