All Saints Church, Boltongate, Cumbria, England, United Kingdom, Europe.


According to Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, this church is one of the architectural sensations of Cumbria. This is not immediately obvious from the outside, but once inside you see what he means, when you find yourself in a steeply arched stone tunnel vault, like nothing else in England. This is supported on massive stone walls about 3 feet thick, buttressed on the East and West sides. The Church is Perpendicular, dating from about 1400, although there was an earlier Norman Church is interesting from the outside, with gargoyles peering down from the is a small tower, with a door leading to the roof of the North transept. Restoration of this Church was completed in 1991 with the help of English Heritage, the Historic Churches Trust and local people.
