| Notes about the Church |
The site for this was a piece of land consisting of sand dunes which were close to Sandhills Lane. The hard white stone used for the building was quarried from Tom Herds Rock at a cost of £70 (source- the Accounts Book reference YPR 23/34 at Whitehaven Record Office). When completed, the new Church was consecrated by the Rt Rev. Dr Nicholas Stratford, Lord Bishop of Chester on the 16th July 1693. Until June 1867 this Church remained as a Chapel of Ease to St. Bees (although wholly independent of its Mother Church). |
Those periods with zero data may span several decades. The first may include pre 1530 records.
