A church was first established on this site in the aftermath of the Dissolution of the Monasteries when Cartmel Priory was dissolved as part of the Henrician Reformation and a chapel was built on the present site using materials from Cartmel. This occured around 1537. After three restorations the church was opened as a church by the Bishop of Carlisle on May 29th 1897 and dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.The Lych Gate was erected as a War Memorial in 1927. It was constructed of locally grown oak grown in the parish.The churchyard contains numerous headstones and also some vaults, some of which are hewn in the rock.
Safeguarding: we take keeping safe all who have anything to do with our services and activities seriously. We have a Parish Safeguarding policy which adopts the National Policy; and a Parish Safeguarding Officer: Helen Norrie, whose contact details are available on the noticeboard in church.
