Find a church

A lovely village church with interesting features to be discovered including early 14th century stained glass depicting three medieval family shields of the Percy, Umfraville and Beaumont families.

See our Norman arches!

Built 1150-1250, although of Saxon origin, which is associated with John Wyclif and contains more medieval stained glass than anywhere else in County Durham, with the exception of the Cathedral.

Unusual Romanesque style church in scenery of which Wordsworth said 'There is not a more beautiful situation outside of the Alps or among them than this'.

Visible from miles around that spire of St Mary’s nestles into the beautiful landscape of the Heart of the English Lake District.

The church dates back to 1130, it also has connections with Lewis Carroll.
