This is one of Cumbria's finest small churches, hidden away down a stone walk, with, uniquely, a stone bell tower on the hill above.

The outward appearance is perpendicular but inside is something unique to English parish churches and was described by Nicholas Pevsner as ‘one of the architectural sensations of Cumberland’.

The church is a grade I listed building dating to the late 12th century and early 13th century.

First mentioned in 1183 in the Bolden Book, here are two 13th century stone effigies of a knight in armour and his lady.

The church was built 1915, stone with Westmorland slate roof.

The church is a peaceful haven beside the Pennine Way with a wildlife conservation project in the churchyard.
