The CHURCH, (St. Andrew,) is a small Saxon fabric, which, after being long a roofless ruin, was repaired in 1836, . . . The rectory, valued in the King's Book at £12, is consolidated with those of Holme and Wallington. . . . The National School was built in 1839. The poor have the site of a tenement, let for 15s., and a yearly rent charge of £2, left by Thos. Taylor.
