Background
History
A church has been on the site since the 6th century. The present church was founded around 1125 by William de Meschines of Egremont Castle. The font is 14th- century and is carved with the symbol of a St Catherine's Wheel. The east window is also from the 14th century. The present church dates from the 14th century, with later alterations and additions. In the churchyard is a gravestone commemorating Thomas Dobson (died 1910), who was master of the Eskdale and Ennerdale Foxhounds for 53 years. Known as the "Huntsman's Grave", the stone is carved with Dobson's huntsman's horn and two projecting heads, one of a fox and one of a hunting dog.
