Additional information:
Redmarshall St Cuthbert is an Ancient Parish in the county of Durham. Stillington, Durham Genealogy and Carlton, Durham Genealogy are chapelries in Redmarshall. "The Church, an ancient stone structure, dedicated to St. Cuthbert, consists of nave with small southern porch, chancel with south transept or "Claxton Porch," and a fine massive western tower. The more ancient portions appear to date from the Norman period, the Claxton Porch being added in the fourteenth century as a chantry. The very interesting sedilia on the south side of the chancel and the large arch on the north appear also of this date. The Claxton porch contains two remarkable figures in alabaster, representing Thomas Langton of Wynyard, 1417, and Sybil his wife. The work is of high character, but both figures are much defaced." [From History, Topography and Directory of Durham, Whellan , London, 1894]
