Other nearby churches

St Mary

Staindrop, County Durham

Thanks to the powerful Neville family this once humble Saxon church was altered and enlarged until it was completed at the end of the 14th century, which is the last time any major work was done on it.

St Andrew

Winston, County Durham

Late 12th / early 13th century church, on a Saxon site on top of hill with stunning view overlooking River Tees.

St Mary

Gainford, County Durham

Though erected in the 13th century, the present structure is believed to occupy a Saxon site, as it is recorded that Edwine, a Northumbrian chief who became a monk, died in 801 and was buried in the monastery of Gainford in the church.
