Mungrisdale – St Kentigern’s Church
Location Mungrisdale
Grid Ref NY 364305
The Church of St Kentigern at Mungrisdale is at the foot of Blencathra and its surrounding fells. There have been several buildings on this site – the present Church being built in 1756. It is a simple structure with thick rubble stone walls.
The interior is simple, but contains some interesting features. There is a three decker pulpit. The East window has clear glass, looking out onto the fells.
There is a memorial to Raisley Calvert, Steward to the Duke of Norfolk at Greystoke, and friend to William Wordsworth.
