Background
History
The church is on the bank of the River Derwent, in a bend surrounded on three east, north and south by the river and on the west by farmland. Access is by a road through fields. There is car parking at the church but no toilet facilities. St Peter's church has served the parish since about the 11th century, and is one of the oldest parishes in the Diocese of Carlisle. But the church has been rebuilt at least twice, in 1694 and again in 1796. The Gothic Revival west tower and spire were added in 1855. In the church is the effigy of Sir Thomas Curwen, nicknamed Black Tom, dated 1510. St Peter's is a Grade II listed building.
