A tall tower and wonderful views.

Please don’t visit us just yet, come when we reopen later in 2019!

A lovely austere and simple church with high quality detail of the emerging Arts & Crafts movement.

In the 1930s Arthur Mee realised that there were very few communities that had not suffered military fatalities in the First World War. He coined the term ‘Thankful villages’ to describe them and Minting is one such village.

The church contains several interesting memorials to the Alington family, of nearby Swinhope Hall, who for many generations have been associated with the parish.

At the southern end of Thirlmere reservoir, in the shadows of Helvellyn stands picturesque Wythburn church and a solitary group of houses, all that now remain of the submerged village.

This long, low church, with its rather dumpy 13th century tower, is an unlikely but harmonious mix of styles.
