Read More	St Cuthbert's Parish Church stands on the north side of the small village of Redmarshall, with the lane from Bishopton to Carlton forming the northern boundary of the churchyard. The church stands on a slight eminence and its tower commands extensive views across the low-lying land around the mouth of the Tees. Of the original 12th-century church the nave and tower remain, but the chancel was rebuilt in its present form in the latter part of the 13th century. The south chapel, representing the chantry of St. Mary, and later known as the Claxton porch, is an addition of the 15th century. In subsequent and modern times a good many changes and alterations have taken place in the fabric, but except for the addition of the south porch in the angle of the nave and chapel and a small vestry on the south side of the chancel, the plan has remained unaltered. The porch is of late but uncertain date, and its outer doorway is composed of the 12th-century entrance moved forward from its original position. In 1806 the roofs were removed and the windows altered, and in 1845–6 a further restoration was carried out, when the sash windows which then existed were replaced by stone and the small vestry or entrance porch on the south side of the chancel added in front of the priest's doorway, the ancient stonework of which was moved forward to form the entrance. The church was again restored in 1893. Attached to the nave is the Langton Chapel which contains recumbent effigies of Sir Thomas and Lady Sybil de Langton. The churchyard is quite elongate on a north-south axis, with the church set towards the centre; the section to the north is rectangular in plan, but the section to the south an irregular triangle, narrowing to the south gate at its apex. To the north and west are roads, and to the east the grounds of the Vicarage and Old Vicarage. In level the central and southern section of the yard are raised up to 2 m above the adjacent roads and vicarage grounds; there is a prominent mound, of uncertain origin, to the east of the path just inside the south gate, rising c 1.5 m above the adjacent churchyard and perhaps 4 m above the gardens to the east. The boundary walls to the north and west of the northern section are all of 20th-century brick; there is an older wall on the south/south-west of the southern section, which has a central section of cobbles, raised in brick, flanked by lengths of old (18th century?) brickwork. The section adjacent to the south gate has been rebuilt relatively recently. There are few monuments of any interest; the majority are of 20th century date, with a few 19th century and one or two small 18th century headstones, much weathered. To the south-east of the church, and backing onto the churchyard boundary, is a railed enclosure with a cross, the memorial of Rev George Brown d.1870. A slight east-west bank a short distance north of the church may indicate a former churchyard boundary. The churchyard was closed for burial in 1992.
