Historic Churches of the Lake District

The Lake District’s historic churches reflect centuries of spiritual and architectural heritage. This collection features Cartmel Priory, a 12th-century Augustinian foundation with rare medieval glass, and St Olaf's in Wasdale Head, renowned as England’s smallest parish church. Notable sites include St Oswald’s in Grasmere, the burial place of William Wordsworth, and St Mary’s in Gosforth, home to the 10th-century Gosforth Cross. From remote valley chapels like Martindale Old Church to George Gilbert Scott’s Gothic Revival designs in Ambleside, these sites showcase diverse styles from Norman to Victorian.
