Saint John. Choir, North side window (detail), by Charles Kempe. Church of Saint Michael. Lamplugh, Cumbria, England,

---

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 window, designed by Charles Kempe, depicts in the left-hand pane, Saint John with his gospel book "The word was made flesh". The dedication reads:- "To the glory of God, and in loving memory of our Parents, John Dickinson 1810=1890, and Jane his wife 1816=1891, of Red How in this parish".
