notes:- |
There has been a church here since before 1170, there is a record of its being attached
to Shap Abbey at that date. It was its own parish by 1291. An earlier church was pulled
down and replaced by a new building, 1726-27. There was extensive restoration in 1885:
new roof, new tower and chancel arches, rebuilt chancel, and numerous fittings. |
