History
Tunstall was mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1096 as being "Land of Count Alan". The record shows the manor to have had 30 villeins. 16 bordars and a priest. Before the conquest, the manor was held by Earl Edwin.[1]
In 1870-72 John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Tunstall as:
"a township-chapelry in Catterick parish, N. R. Yorkshire; 3 miles S of Catterick-Bridge r. station. Post town, Catterick. Acres, 1,262. Real property, £2,139. Pop., 293. Houses, 66. The living is annexed to Catterick. The church was built in 1847. There are a Wesleyan chapel and a slightly endowed school."
Parish church
The church was built in 1846 as a chapel of ease to St Michael and All Angels in neighbouring Hudswell.[2][3] The building is a grade II listed building.[4]
