Newlands Church, Anglican church in Above Derwent, England.
Newlands Church stands with white-washed walls and a green slate roof at the foot of hills in the Newlands Valley of Cumbria.
The church dates back to the 16th century, appearing on Christopher Saxton's map of 1576 as 'Newlande Chap' and received its first curate in 1731.
The building contains historical features including a reader's desk and pulpit from 1610, plus stained glass windows depicting Christ and St Michael.
The church holds services twice monthly and remains open during daylight hours for visitors exploring the Newlands Valley and surrounding hills.
The church housed a school from 1841 until 1967, when students transferred to Braithwaite Primary School, with the school room later renovated in the 1990s.
