More about this scene

The church of St Lawrence originally belonged to the Abbey of St Mary at York and income from it was used to support the Priory at Wetheral. Though picturesque, the ivy engulfing the church in this view obscures a feature rare in the region – a pre-Conquest western tower. One of its bells, dated 1687, was made by Lancelot Smith of Penrith. The church underwent a major restoration within two years of this photograph.
