St Lawrence's probably dates from the 13th century and may have been built, in part, by lay workers from the Carthusian monastery at Mount Grace. In 1884, it was completely restored by Sir Lowthian Bell. The church contains two monumental reredos (c1700) from Newcastle Cathedral. There is an unusual carved Anglo-Saxon font depicting an archer (centaur?) and other symbols. On the north side there is evidence of an early doorway, now blocked.
