This Grade I church is near the Kennet and Avon canal.

A church has stood on this site, a small hill above Hawkshead, for over 800 years with the present church being built around 1490 (parts of the tower are older) and little changed since the late 16th century.

Historic Grade II listed Victorian workhouse chapel.

Built on a prominent hillside at the heart of the village that was created at the same time, St Mary's was designed, built and given to the parish by the eminent Victorian architect, George Edmund Street, in memory of his second wife. It was consecrated in 1879.

This large estate church in the woods with a tall spire was built for the Second Marchioness of Ailesbury by TH Wyatt in 1861.

Visible from miles around that spire of St Mary’s nestles into the beautiful landscape of the Heart of the English Lake District.

Having started as a mission church in 1890, the current permanent church, designed by William Leah, was built in 1938.
