The church of St. Paul, rebuilt in 1849, is a building of stone, in the Norman style, consisting of chancel, nave and a tower at the north-west angle, with pyramidal roof and containing one bell: the transitional chancel arch, supported on clustered shafts, is the only remaining fragment of the ancient church: the font, of local stone, and supported upon four shafts, is a modern work in the Norman style: the south doorway, which has zigzag moulding, is stated to be a reproduction of the original entrance: there are 92 sittings. The register dates from the year 1739. The living is a vicarage, gross yearly value £350, with residence, in the gift of the Dean and Chapter of Durham, and held since 1888 by the Rev. John James Sidley M.A. of Trinity College, Dublin. [Kelly's Directory of Northumberland and Durham (1890), page 738.]
