St Mary’s Church, Threlkeld, Cumbria

The current Church dates from 1776, although the bell tower is older and there is evidence of Christian worship on the site from the pre-Norman era commonly called the “Dark Ages”. Much of the Church interior was refurbished in 1911 while the stunning east window dates from the 1950s and was donated by Captain Aspall Olsen in memory of his wife.
In 1998, the parish of St Mary’s was combined with St John’s in the Vale and Wythburn to form a joint benefice.
While there is currently no published Guide Book, the history of St Mary’s can be found on the Church web site at: LinkExternal link Visitor 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
