Overview
Grid reference: SD 229 961
The structure is simple and located in the beautiful Duddon Valley. The church was built in 1874, replacing an earlier church and was designed by Paley and Austin and remains of the earlier church include a Holy Water stoup inside the south wall. Apparently Ruskin attempted to save the earlier building. One of the most significant aspects of the site, although not of the present building, is the association with William Wordsworth. The Duddon Valley and particularly Robert Walker, curate from 1736 until 1802, inspired Wordsworth to write a number of poems. “Wonderful Walker” is commemorated outside the church by his clipping stone which he used when he hired himself out as a sheep shearer.
