Situated in the beautiful valley of Dentdale, Cumbria yet within the boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this Grade II building was originally built as a meeting house by the Society of Friends in 1701.

St Helen's was designed by John Carr, an 18th century architect and associate of the great Robert Adam and sometime Lord Mayor of York.

St Lawrence's is a timber framed church that at the most conservative estimate dates from 1531.

Dating largely from the 14th century, this little chapel originally stood on the first arch of a medieval bridge over the Derwent; the springing of the arch can still be seen below the east wall.
