Otto Trevelyan bart. M.P. at the time the church was restored in 1886: several grave slabs, with incised crosses, one with an effigy, and others carved with swords or spears, have been removed from the site of the ancient chapel, and are preserved here: there are 280 sittings. The register dates from the year 1842. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £225, in the gift of the Right Hon. Sir George Otto Trevelyan bart. P.C., M.P., and held since 1888 by the Rev. Charles Augustus Fitch M.A. of Christ's College, Cambridge. [Kelly's Northumberland Directory (1890), page 741.]
