The crucifixion, Sanctuary east window (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 East window is dated 1882 . The inscription reads:- "Jesus that He might sanctify the people with His own blood suffered without the gate".
