The Church of St Cuthbert was originally built in the 12th century but has been rebuilt in places and been the subject of two restorations in the 17th and 19th centuries. For example, the east end of the chancel was rebuilt in the early 14th century after being damaged during a siege of the castle by Robert the Bruce, who occupied and fortified the church. Towards the end of the medieval period, the church seems to have fallen out of use and may have been roofless for 100 years before it was restored in 1619. The church which stands today is largely the result of restoration from 1837-52, the earliest elements being the chancel arches, parts of the south nave wall, and three pillar bases on the north side of the nave. The dedication to St Cuthbert is a reminder of its connections with Durham. The south arcade has been described as "truly majestic? for a parish church (Pevsner 1992, 523).
