Unusually dedicated to St Augustine of Canterbury, the first record of a Church on this site dates to 1154, when King Henry II appointed Galfrid as rector. The current Church dates from 1869, when the Church of 1770 was demolished (at a cost of £74 and 11 shillings) and a new building erected for the sum of £4,245 15s 8d. A spire was added in 1886 – cost not recorded!
There are many interesting features within the Church, including a reredos dating from 1899, the 16th Century Derwentwater bell and the oak chancel screen, which is a memorial to those of Alston who fell in the Great War 1914 – 1918.
A booklet detailing the history of the Church is available on site (donations), while more information may be found on the Visit Cumbria web site at: Link

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, Link*_listed_war_memorials_in_England
