notes:- |
'... little is known of the history of St. Catherine's Church, Eskdale'. William de
Meschines founded the Priory of St Bees, 1125, and four chapels were founded about
this time, one of them in Eskdale. This just may have been near St Catherine's Well
a quarter of a mile from here. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In response to a petition to the Pope, the Abbot of Calder Abbey was instructed to
promote the chapel to a parish church in 1445. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The building appears to date to the 14th century. There may have been repairs in the
17th century; the ceiling was repaired in 1831; there was major restoration, rebuilding,
in 1881. |
