Description of Archaeology and History
By Charles Hodgson Fowler of Durham; 1898. Built at a cost of £6,040.
Exterior Description
Built of red brick with a modest use of Dumfries stone for copings, window tracery, string-courses and other minor chiefly distinguished by its height, and the economy of means by which the desired effect is achieved.
The line of the nave clerestory windows is carried on, though on a slightly smaller scale by clerestorey windows in the chancel and these in turn are linked by a string-course which turns upwards to become the hood-mould of the east window. Below the east window another string-course gives further definition to the architectural form of the chancel.
Interior
Interior Description
The nave is of four and a half bays, the half-bay at the west terminating in a broad pier. The piers of the arcade, apparently of a locally quarried stone, consist of four attached half-columns round a central, core with simple moulded capitals - more Early English than Decorated, in fact. The chancel arch is very lofty. Both nave and aisles have good roof structures, the nave roof having substantial tie-beams with curved braces, queen-posts and slender king-posts. the chancel has a boarded waggon roof.
