St Kentigern, Crosthwaite

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A fascinating 12th century church built on the site of older churches dating to the 6th century. Later additions date from the 16th and 19th centuries. The church is dedicated to St Kentigern, who came to this area in the mid 6th century. Poet Robert Southey is buried in the churchyard, and a memorial stands in the church. Also in the churchyard is the grave of Canon Rawnsley, co-founder of the National Trust. The pride of St Kentigern's is a complete set of Tudor consecration crosses. There are examples of stained glass dating back to the 12th century.
