Church Of St Kentigern

The Church of St Kentigern is a church located on a medieval site, with the current structure mentioned in 1703. It underwent restorations in 1740 and 1896. The church features a cement render on a chamfered plinth, a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables, kneelers, and a cross finial. It has a small square two-storey west tower, a three-bay nave, and a single-bay chancel. The tower includes ground-floor slit vents, and the bell chamber has louvred vents set in a segmental red sandstone arch. The tower is topped with a battlemented parapet featuring merlons. The nave has a wooden south porch and door from 1896, along with leaded-pane windows in both the nave and chancel, also set in segmental red sandstone arches. There is an external aedicule wall plaque dedicated to John Forster, who died in 1819. Inside, the church contains 19th-century marble wall plaques, including one to Flora Steel by George Nelson of Carlisle, and a painted wooden panel of the Royal Arms on the west wall of the nave.
