This was the original church of the town, dating back to the 14th century although much of the existing fabric is 17th and 18th century. The church was in disrepair by the beginning of the 19th century and was replaced by St Cuthbert's Church in 1828. The style of the pulpit suggests that it might have come from an abbey refectory. The church is Listed Grade II and also a Scheduled Monument.
