The living is a discharged rectory, in the archdeaconry of Northumberland, and diocese of Durham, rated in the king's books at £4. 7. 8., endowed with £200 private benefaction, and £300 parliamentary grant, and in the patronage of Miss Wilkinson. Here is a small sum for the instruction of children. Castle Nook, in this parish, is the site of a Roman station which occupies an area of nearly nine acres, being defended on the west by ten breastworks and trenches. At the north-east corner a sudatory was discovered, in 1813, from which flows a copious spring of clear water; near to the eastern wall is the Maiden-way, and in the vicinity, a Roman altar, with fragments of a colossal statue, was found some few years since; here, according to Camden, an inscription was erected, and a palace built, in honour of the Emperor Antoninus, about 213, by the third cohort of the Nervii. Over the stable door of a public house in the vicinity is an altar, on which are carved a patera and urceolus. An altar, dedicated to Minerva and Hercules, was also found in the church-yard, but has been lost.
