Old All Saints' Church is a redundant
Church of England church, built in
Georgian times; it is set in parkland with views to the 18th-century Gothic-style country house called
Skelton Castle. Graves can be seen in the churchyard with skull-and-crossbones motifs. The church was mostly rebuilt in 1785, on a site where two previous churches had been built. The pulpit, the
box pews and other furnishings, date from the rebuilding, with slightly earlier text boards and some older monuments on a remaining medieval wall. The outside stonework shows a herringbone tooling in keeping with local styles, in contrast to the 'Venetian' east window and the dark pink colouring of the interior. A new All Saints' church was built on the other side of the high street, in 1884, by R.J. Johnston of Newcastle. It is in the
decorated style and of dressed sandstone with ashlar, with plain clay tiled roofs. After the new church was built, the Georgian church fell into disrepair, declared redundant and is now maintained by the
Churches Conservation Trust. Both churches are Grade II listed buildings. == Education ==
