We stopped here to visit William Wordsworth's burial site, but decided to go inside the church…read morebecause from the outside, I could see there are stained glass windows, and I always have to go inside a church, because I'm a Catholic, and would like to go inside & say a little prayer. You just have to stop here, trust me, it is beautiful! So much love, from the people who take care of the church, a church this old, you find no neglect anywhere! Just a perfect size church for this little England village! I took plenty of photos inside, but sadly, I did not take a photo of the church from the outside. (Why? There was a person in front of me and he was just standing there, so I said, I'll take it later, instead I took a photo of the sign, and left without taking the church!) The church bell tower at exactly 2:30pm, made one big CLANG! That bells reminds me of our church, in my province. It would be nice to experience what it was like to attend a small village church, the church that William Wordsworth worshiped when he was alive. The bridge, & the water under the bridge flowed exactly like the bridge, even the trees above the hill, everything there are SO MUCH like my memories of the ones by my house!

This beautiful Parish Church overlooks the village. To get to it you go in past the Old Grammar…read moreSchool through the gate and up the hill. It is quite a pull up, but at least you know that it will be open when you get up there. Early history There was a chapel on this site in the 12th century, which was enlarged to its present length about 1300. It was widened in 1500 by the addition of the two side aisles with massive pillars and round arcades, which are found nowhere else in England. So the church was basically as it is today from the beginning of the 16th century. At that time it was an outlying 'chapelry' of the Abbey of Furness at Dalton, but became a separate parish in 1578. This change was due to Archbishop Sandys, of York, the man who founded the grammar school. It has an interesting grave yard.

Initially I met the pastor at the stall. He, and other members of the congregation who ran the stall were very supportive when I was low, ill and cheerful. They invited me to their harvest festival, lunch afterwards, picked me up and took me home after. Whilst I disagree with some of the views held by some of the people around me here, their warmth and acceptance shines through.
