Church of St Simon, Simonside
The Grade II Listed church has a variety of unusual features. It is a simple rectangular building in late gothic style without aisles or separate chancel. The vestry is on the north side and a nice gabled porch on the south with decorated bargeboards and other detail. An elegant octagonal fleche marks the position of the chancel. The side windows are all square headed, the west window has a segmental hood and the east window a pointed one.

The graveyard contains eight Commonwealth War Graves - three can be seen on the right.
