[11] Pevsner notes that the architects, Thomas and William Lumby, retained and copied north aisle details from the previous Decorated building, and that the church holds a c.1569 chalice, a 1670 alms basin, a 1706 flagon by John Bodington, and a 1706 paten by William Fawdery.

[14] Within the village is the Grade I listed Elizabethan house, Doddington Hall,[15][16] a former seat of the Northumbrian Delaval family.
