Christ blessing the children, Nave South aisle window. Church of Saint Michael. Lamplugh, Cumbria, England, , 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 inscription on the window reads:- " Suffer the little children to come unto Me". The window is dated 1865.
