Saint Michael, West window centre pane (detail). Church of Saint Michael. Lamplugh, Cumbria, England, United Kingdom, Europe.

St Michael's Church dated 1870, is the only original Lakeland example of architecture by William Butterfield, and therefore demands attention. William Butterfield (1814-1900) was an important ecclesiastical architect, creating many churches including Keble College Chapel, Oxford. Lamplugh is a fairly plain design, with a few oddities, such as the two storey chancel arch which incorporates an earlier Perpendicular arch. The West window consists of three lancet panes, the central pane depicts Saint Michael slaying the dragon. The window was designed by Charles Kempe and is dated 1910.
