Church Of St Cuthbert

The Church of St Cuthbert is a Grade II* listed building, dated 1845, which replaces a medieval church and incorporates re-positioned medieval features. It is constructed from snecked red sandstone ashlar with a rusticated plinth and has graduated slate roofs. The church features a three-storey square west tower with angle buttresses, a string course, and a corbelled battlemented parapet, along with pointed-head lancets that have hood moulds. The nave consists of six bays with buttressed walls and angles, and a projecting gabled porch on the south wall that has a pointed-head arch with a hood mould and oak plank doors. Between the buttresses are lancet windows with pointed heads and hood moulds.

The chancel, which has one bay, includes angle buttresses and a triple lancet east window with a hood mould, as well as a coped gable with kneelers and a cross finial. Inside, there is an inscribed and dated dedication tablet. The tower arch, which was formerly the chancel arch, dates from the 12th century and features two orders with bead and chevron decoration. Also from the original church are heraldic tablets for the Appleby family from 1698 and the early 1700s, along with three aedicule monuments for members of the Dacre-Appleby family from 1729, 1738, and 1779. One window contains heraldic glass for the Dacre-Appleby family, while the other windows feature plain diamond leaded panes, and the east window has early 20th-century stained glass.

The church's furnishings, including pews, pulpit, and lectern, are from the late 19th or early 20th century, and there is a panelled and vaulted light oak roof. The chancel steps are made of polished serpentine. At the west end, there is a carved and gilded Royal Arms of Queen Victoria. The church also features copper and wrought-iron oil lamps in the Art Nouveau style, likely made by the Keswick School of Industrial Art, and a re-positioned piscina from the medieval church.
