An early 12th century church consisting of a two bay nave and single bay chancel which was declared redundant in the late 1970s. It survives well and retains medieval fabric together with stonework removed from Hadrian's Wall. The church is believed to contain an arch from Birdoswald Roman fort.

The Bastle at Upper Denton is Scheduled Monument 27671. Upper Denton is a small village in northern Cumbria, not far from the Scottish border.The Bastle, a ruined late medieval fortified house, once served as the vicarage for the nearby church.The structure had deteriorated seriously and parts had collapsed. In view of its condition, it was added to the Buildings at Risk Register in 2004. The owners commissioned a structural engineer experienced in dealing with historic structures to draw up a specification for repairing the building. Negotiations with English Heritage resulted in an offer to grant-aid 80 per cent of the work, as a result of which the Bastle has been repaired and removed from the latest edition of the Register. {Source: http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/hc/upload/pdf/HCNW05.pdf?1255855704.}
