| St Luke's, Ousby Townhead, with Cross Fell behind. Easter 2006 |
St Luke's Church lies outside the village of Ousby, to the East.
It is built of local stone and dates from the 12th or early 13th century, fell into a ruinous state
in the late 14th century, and was almost entirely rebuilt in 1858.
There are two stained glass windows - the three light East window contains an image of St Luke by John Scott of Carlisle.
The other window - in the south east of the nave - 'Pro Patria' - is a memorial to those who fell in World War I.
