St Andrew's Church, Penrith, Anglican church building in Penrith, England.
The red sandstone church features a grand interior with galleries supported by two tiers of columns and a box-panelled ceiling that spans the space.
The church tower dates from the 12th century, while architect William Etty redesigned the main structure between 1721 and 1722 in Georgian style.
The churchyard contains ancient Norse crosses and hogback stones, with the Giant's Thumb marking what local tradition identifies as King Owen Caesarius's grave.
The church provides level access throughout its main areas, with street parking and restroom facilities available for visitors during daytime hours.
The brass chandeliers, donated by the Duke of Portland in 1746, illuminate the interior space alongside the large stained glass east window.
