All Saints Church, Boltongate

All Saints Church features limestone walls, sandstone slate roofs over the nave, and green slate covering the chancel, with a hexagonal stair turret.

Originally constructed around 1350 on Norman foundations from the 12th century, the church incorporates defensive elements including a stone barrel-vaulted roof.

The interior displays stained glass windows created by Charles Kempe and Thomas Willement, depicting religious figures and Christian symbols including a pelican.

The church remains an active Anglican place of worship within the deanery of Solway and diocese of Carlisle, serving the local parish.

A sandstone relief on the north wall shows two knights in combat, representing a rare example of 12th-century military artwork in religious architecture.
