[Population 1911: incl. with Edlingham]

Church

A chapel of ease in the Parish of Edlingham. Although there has been considerable nineteenth century restoration, the foundation is ancient, and some Norman work survives. The chapel is mentioned in 1230, and was probably in the care of the Brethren of a Leper Hospital which was founded to the north of Bolton in 1227 under the terms of a licence granted by Prior of Durham who held the advowson until the Dissolution. [The Newcastle Diocesan Gazetteer (1982), page 93.]

Five stained glass windows are dedicated to members of the Burrell family.

A number of brass plates are to the memory of the Gray family. The first reads:

Remember in Christ Frances Mary Lister 1849-1936 wife of
the Reverend Walter Augustus Gray and their six children;
Walter Ker 1880-1945; Eleanor Mary 1882-1963; Essex Ker 1883-1953;
Mark Ker 1884-1975; Mostyn Ker 1886-1950; Dorothy Forster 1887-1978.
