Church of St Cuthbert, Kirklinton, Cumbria

The original Church of St Cuthbert was constructed circa 1374 by Sir Richard de Boyville, who was granted the barony of Levington by Ranolph de Meschines. Nothing now remains of Sir Richard’s Castle, while the Victorians tore-down the medieval church and replaced it with the present building in 1845. However, the original Norman doors survive in the west wall.
The Visit Cumbria web site ( LinkExternal link ) gives much useful information on the Church, while contact details and service times can be found: LinkExternal link .
The Church is open to the public and donations are welcome.

War Memorials

War memorials were mainly constructed after WWI to commemorate the troops who gave their lives in the war. Many were then updated after WWII. Some war memorials date back to the Boer War. Almost every town and village in Britain has a War Memorial. They take many forms, the commonest being an obelisk, a cross or statue of a soldier. Some commemorate the inhabitants of a place, some are for schools and others are for companies or Military groupings.
Many memorials are grade II listed, 61 are II* listed, LinkExternal link*_listed_war_memorials_in_England
