St Peter's Church, Finsthwaite, Grade II* listed Anglican church in Finsthwaite, England.
St Peter's Church features a substantial tower with a pyramidal roof, oversized buttresses, and walls made of coursed stone rubble with sandstone elements.
The current structure replaced a 1724 chapel in 1874, funded by Thomas Newby Wilson, owner of the Stott Park Bobbin Mill, at a cost of £4,170.
The interior displays an alabaster reredos by Salviati of Venice and stained glass windows depicting Christ and the Apostles by Henry Holiday.
The church maintains regular opening hours from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, offering parking facilities and level access for visitors exploring the Lake District.
Each stone bracket inside the church exhibits different designs, making it a preferred architectural example among Paley and Austin's religious buildings.
