This is a listed building. The Church of St Edwin dates from circa 1170 when the west end of the nave and western part of the south nave wall were first built. Later, during the early 13th century a nave, chancel and tower were built. During the 14th century the tower acquired a parapet and a spire. During the 15th century a vestry was also added. Around 1860 the porch was rebuilt. The church saw much rebuilding and refenestration in 1844 and during the later 19th century. Coursed rubble; some rebuilt sections in snecked sandstone; green slate roofs. West tower with spire; nave with north aisle and north porch; chancel with north vestry. Anglo-Saxon cross fragments are built into the fabric of Coniscliffe Church. (1)
