At the time of the Reformation there were two chantries in the church, one being in the south aisle, at the east end of which there is a trefoil-headed piscina and square ambry. At the west end of the north aisle, partly within and partly without the church, is an interesting two-storied erection, containing four chambers, which must have, at one time, been an anchorage. The church is chiefly remarkable for the series of fourteen monumental effigies of presumed members of the Lumley family. Eleven, however, were the work of sculptors employed by John, Lord Lumley, at the end of the sixteenth century, and two were removed by him from the graveyard of Durham Abbey, under the mistaken impression that they represented two of his ancestors. "The first effigy, evidently imaginary, represents Liulph in a coat of mail.... Above this venerable personage is a long inscription commemorating the whole family descent. "Next to Liulph lies Uchtred, in a suit of chain armour.... "The third effigy, William, son of Uchtred, who first assumed the Lumley name, is probably genuine. He appears in a full suit of chain armour, over which is a surcoat, with the drapery hanging in easy folds below the girdle. The legs are crossed, and rest on a lion. A shield on the left arm. The head rests on a cushion. "The second William de Lumley appears in plate of a much less genuine description.... "And the third William is like unto him, save that his legs be straight and his hair wantonly crisped. "And Roger is like William, but sore mutilated. "Robert de Lumley, extremely like Roger.... "Sir Marmaduke Lumley, in mail.... "Ralph, first Baron Lumley ... one of those removed from the cemetery of the Cathedral Church of Durham, a close coat of mail, the visor ribbed down the front with two transverse slits for the sight, the breast covered with the shield, the sword unsheathed and upright, the point resting against the visor, the legs straight, resting on a couchant hound. "Sir John Lumley, almost minutely resembling the last. "George Lord Lumley. An effigy, recumbent like his predecessors.... The dress is probably intended for the robes of the baron. " ... Sir Thomas Lumley, Knight. The figure is in mail.... "Richard, Lord Lumley.... "The last effigy, John, Lord Lumley, in robes...."--SURTEES. In the church is also a thirteenth-century effigy of a bishop, representing St. Cuthbert.
