Crosthwaite Parish Church, Parish church in Great Crosthwaite, England.

The stone church contains Tudor consecration crosses on its walls, with twelve crosses on the exterior and nine crosses remaining inside the building.

The current church structure, established in 1181 for Alice de Romilly, includes a nave, north aisle, and chancel that replaced an earlier 6th-century building.

The churchyard holds the graves of notable figures including Robert Southey, poet laureate from 1813 to 1843, and Canon Rawnsley, co-founder of the National Trust.

The church maintains an eight-bell system with ground floor ringing, allowing visitors to observe the bell ringers through glass partitions during services.

Inside the church, a mosaic floor displays symbols of the founder through representations of a tree, fish, bell, and bird alongside a sundial from 1602.
