There has been a church on this site since the 9th century, and, although the present church dates from 1790, it can be assumed that there has been some form of churchyard on this site since the earlier date. Designed by William Newton, this Grade II Listed building was described in Nikolaus Pevsner's 1992 book, 'The Buildings of England Northumberland', as, "in Gothic style, designed after a career devoted almost entirely to the classical".
